- play, record and convert uncompressed or compressed audio data;
- pause and resume playback or recording;
- record and play data to or from the stream;
- play mixed audio data;
- set up mixer controls;
- get the current sound position;
- view the level of the input sound signal;
- get the format list for specified WaveFormat;
- get audio stream duration in milliseconds;
- change Wave stream to MP3 stream if the former contains \"MPEG Layer 3\" data;
- play, record and convert RAW headerless format (SLINEAR etc);
- encode and decode Dialogic .vox (adpcm) format data.

What\'s new in version 5.8?
1. Convert audio wave stream to mp3 stream
2. Convert Dialogic .vox (adpcm) stream to Mp3 stream
3. Insert and mix audio data into main audio data with specified offset multiple times
4. Split stereo audio stream to two mono streams

Alvas.Audio at a Glance
The Alvas.Audio package includes a PlayerEx component to let your application
play sound in WAV format. Additionally, library allows to play data from the file
or memory stream, to pause and resume playback, to play mixed audio data and to get
the current sound
position. Audio data can be played from any player installed in the system
of an end-user.

Another component in the package is a RecorderEx. It enables an application
to record uncompressed (PCM) and compressed (IMA ADPCM, Microsoft ADPCM,
CCITT A-Law, CCITT u-Law, GSM 6.10, MPEG Layer-3)
audio in the WAV format. Audio data can be recorded to the file or memory
stream. Recording can be paused or resumed, get the current sound
position. The audio data can be recorded to any recorder application installed in the
system.

Among other components, developers will find AudioCompressionManager, which
adds system-level support for transparent run-time audio
compression/decompression (conversion) and waveform-audio data format selection.
There are also WaveWriter, a class for writing audio data to the stream, and Mixer,
a component to control the routing of audio lines for playing or recording.
