Mono to Stereo conversion
If you just want interleaved stereo samples then you could use a function like this:
void interleave(const uint16_t * in_L, // mono input buffer (left channel)
const uint16_t * in_R, // mono input buffer (right channel)
uint16_t * out, // stereo output buffer
const size_t num_samples) // number of samples
{
for (size_t i = 0; i < num_samples; ++i)
{
out[i * 2] = in_L[i];
out[i * 2 + 1] = in_R[i];
}
}
To generate stereo from a single mono buffer then you would just pass the same pointer for in_L and in_R, e.g.
interleave(mono_buffer, mono_buffer, stereo_buffer, num_samples);
Pass to both channels the same pointer? If that violates restrict
rules, use memcpy()
?
Sorry, but your question is otherwise to broad. API? OS? CPUArchitectures?
