POE::Component::Enc::Mp3 - mp3 encoder wrapper

SYNOPSIS

use POE qw(Component::Enc::Mp3);

$mp3 = POE::Component::Enc::Mp3->new($bitrate => 160); $mp3->enc("/tmp/tst.wav");

POE::Kernel->run();

DESCRIPTION

This POE component encodes raw audio files into mp3 format. It is merely a wrapper for the notlame program.

METHODS

The module provides an object oriented interface as follows:

new

Used to initialise the system and create a module instance. The following parameters are available:

alias

Indicates the name of a session to which module callbacks are posted. Default: main.

bitrate

Should be self-evident. If left unspecified, defaults to 160.

enc <file-name> [del-orig]

Encodes the given file, naming it with a .mp3 extension. An optional true value for the second parameter indicates that the original file should be deleted.

    e.g. $mp3->enc("/tmp/tst.wav");

CALLBACKS

Callbacks are made to the session indicated in the spawn() method. The names of the functions called back may also be set via the aforementioned method. The following callbacks are issued:

status

Fired during processing. ARG0 is the block number being processed whilst ARG1 represents the percentage of completion expressed as a whole number between 0 and 100.

done

This callback is made upon completion of encoding.

error

Fired on the event of an error.
