AVPlayer playback of single channel audio stereo->mono

问题

In my iPad/iPhone App I'm playing back a video using AVPlayer. The video file has a stereo audio track but I need to playback only one channel of this track in mono. Deployment target is iOS 6. How can I achieve this? Thanks a lot for your help.

I now finally found an answer to this question - at least for deployment on iOS 6. You can easily add an MTAudioProcessingTap to your existing AVPlayer item and copy the selected channels samples to the other channel during your process callback function. Here is a great tutorial explaining the basics: http://chritto.wordpress.com/2013/01/07/processing-avplayers-audio-with-mtaudioprocessingtap/

This is my code so far, mostly copied from the link above.

During AVPlayer setup I assign callback functions for audio processing:

MTAudioProcessingTapCallbacks callbacks;
callbacks.version = kMTAudioProcessingTapCallbacksVersion_0;
callbacks.clientInfo = ( void *)(self);
callbacks.init = init;
callbacks.prepare = prepare;
callbacks.process = process;
callbacks.unprepare = unprepare;
callbacks.finalize = finalize;

MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap;
// The create function makes a copy of our callbacks struct
OSStatus err = MTAudioProcessingTapCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, &callbacks,
                                          kMTAudioProcessingTapCreationFlag_PostEffects, &tap);
if (err || !tap) {
    NSLog(@"Unable to create the Audio Processing Tap");
    return;
}
assert(tap);

// Assign the tap to the input parameters
audioInputParam.audioTapProcessor = tap;

// Create a new AVAudioMix and assign it to our AVPlayerItem
AVMutableAudioMix *audioMix = [AVMutableAudioMix audioMix];
audioMix.inputParameters = @[audioInputParam];
playerItem.audioMix = audioMix;

Here are the audio processing functions (actually process is the only one needed):

#pragma mark Audio Processing

void init(MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap, void *clientInfo, void **tapStorageOut) {
    NSLog(@"Initialising the Audio Tap Processor");
    *tapStorageOut = clientInfo;
}

void finalize(MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap) {
    NSLog(@"Finalizing the Audio Tap Processor");
}

void prepare(MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap, CMItemCount maxFrames, const AudioStreamBasicDescription *processingFormat) {
    NSLog(@"Preparing the Audio Tap Processor");
}

void unprepare(MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap) {
    NSLog(@"Unpreparing the Audio Tap Processor");
}

void process(MTAudioProcessingTapRef tap, CMItemCount numberFrames,
         MTAudioProcessingTapFlags flags, AudioBufferList *bufferListInOut,
         CMItemCount *numberFramesOut, MTAudioProcessingTapFlags *flagsOut) {
    OSStatus err = MTAudioProcessingTapGetSourceAudio(tap, numberFrames, bufferListInOut, flagsOut, NULL, numberFramesOut);
    if (err) NSLog(@"Error from GetSourceAudio: %ld", err);

    SIVSViewController* self = (SIVSViewController*) MTAudioProcessingTapGetStorage(tap);

    if (self.selectedChannel) {

        int channel = self.selectedChannel;

        if (channel == 0) {
            bufferListInOut->mBuffers[1].mData = bufferListInOut->mBuffers[0].mData;
        } else {
            bufferListInOut->mBuffers[0].mData = bufferListInOut->mBuffers[1].mData;
        }
    }
}
