[asterisk-dev] Streaming audio to asterisk

[Darren Sessions]

Basically, the app I'm writing uses the Asterisk ODBC code to pull in  
binary audio data from the database using a custom query, and then I  
need to write that audio data to the channel. I've got the database  
stuff nailed already along with the core of the application itself,  
just getting it to the channel now is what I'm interested in doing.

My inexperience with the asterisk audio code here is going to shine  
through; basically, I'm still not 100% sure how to get set all the  
frame parameters via the frame struct and then getting that to  
ast_write. Like I said, still a bit fuzzy on the asterisk audio code,  
but it's slowly starting to make more sense. Most of my reference  
material has been looking over the app_swift code.

This is the meat of the code; presented as below, aud_buffer will have  
the entire binary audio stored in it when this runs. It's what I need  
to do with it after that.

I hope I'm making sense.

Thanks,

   obj = ast_odbc_request_obj(odbc_database, 1);
   if (obj) {
     do {
       snprintf(sql, sizeof(sql), "%s", query);
       stmt = ast_odbc_prepare_and_execute(obj, generic_prepare, &gps);
       if (!stmt) {
         ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "SQL execute error!\n[%s]\n\n", sql);
         break;
       }
       res = SQLFetch(stmt);
       if (res == SQL_NO_DATA) {
               SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, stmt);
               break;
       } else if ((res != SQL_SUCCESS) && (res !=  
SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO)) {
               ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "SQL fetch error!\n[%s]\n\n", sql);
               SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, stmt);
               break;
       }

       res = SQLGetData(stmt, 1, SQL_BINARY, aud_buffer,  
sizeof(aud_buffer), &colsize);

       if (res == SQL_SUCCESS || res == SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO) {
         <<something goes here>>
       }

       SQLFreeHandle(SQL_HANDLE_STMT, stmt);
     } while (0);
     ast_odbc_release_obj(obj);
   } else {
     ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "Failed to obtain database object for '%s'! 
\n", odbc_database);
   }
