[ANSWERED] Does Tizen OpenAL support Capture extension?

In other words, does it allow one to record audio? Or is it strictly for output-only?

Platform: Tizen Wearable 2.3.2, Gear S3

Thanks.

OpenAL Audio API is designed for efficient rendering of 3-D positional audio. According to the documentation 'OpenAL 1.1 Specification and Reference' which is refered in Tizen developers site,

OpenAL 1.1 implementations support recording

Document Link: www.openal.org/documentation/openal-1.1-specification.pdf

Please have a look on Pages: 

Recording API, Page: 9

Audio capture, Page: 57

ALC_EXT_CAPTURE, Page: 61

Thank you Armaan.

I know what the OpenAL specs says. But the problem is, it leaves Audio Captures as an "extension" which implementors can choose to implement or *not* to implement.

So the question is, does the Tizen-implementation (or, more specificially, the Tizen Wearable on Gear S3 implementation) of OpenAL supports this extension, that enables us to perform audio capture?

cheers!

Hello.

Audio captures for OpenAL is supported from Tizen 2.4.

It means there is no captures implementation on Gear S3 which is based on Tizen 2.3.x.
