Function Documentation

QList<EffectDescription> BackendCapabilities::availableAudioEffects()

Returns descriptions for the audio effects the backend supports.

Returns A list of AudioEffectDescription objects that give a name and description for every supported audio effect.

QList<AudioOutputDevice> BackendCapabilities::availableAudioOutputDevices()

Returns the audio output devices the backend supports.

Returns A list of AudioOutputDevice objects that give a name and description for every supported audio output device.

QStringList BackendCapabilities::availableMimeTypes()

Returns a list of mime types that the Backend can decode.

See also isMimeTypeAvailable().

bool BackendCapabilities::isMimeTypeAvailable(const QString & mimeType)

Often all you want to know is whether one given MIME type can be decoded by the backend. Use this method in favor of availableMimeTypes() as it can give you a negative answer without having a backend loaded.

Returns true if the given mimeType is supported by the backend; otherwise, returns false.

See also availableMimeTypes().

Notifier * BackendCapabilities::notifier()

Use this function to get a QObject pointer to connect to the capabilitiesChanged signal.

Returns a pointer to a QObject.

The capabilitiesChanged signal is emitted if the capabilities have changed. This can happen if the user has requested a backend change.

To connect to this signal do the following:

QObject::connect(BackendCapabilities::notifier(), SIGNAL(capabilitiesChanged()), ...

See also Notifier::capabilitiesChanged().
