is there an audio plugin for this?

[Andres Gonzalez]

Hi,

As we are all well aware, most of the general purpose audio capture cards are very restrictive. They have 2 physical analog inputs one for Right and one for Left of a single stereo signal, and the 2 inputs cannot be controlled or configured differently from each other.

I want to be able to treat these 2 inputs as 2 separate mono inputs, where each can feed separate and distinct 2 channel mono feeds downstream. Essentially, I want the option to copy over all of the left channel audio samples to the right channel, or all of the right channel audio samples to the left channel.  In other words, the option is to remove one channel's audio and provide 2 channel mono audio of the other channel's audio downstream.

Is there an audio plugin for this?  I have looked at audiointerleave and it appears that it might do what I want but there is no detailed description in the documentation of what it does so I am not sure.

Thanks,
-Andres

You are close. You need the *de*interleaver. Here is one example that
outputs both mono streams as graphical waveforms:


gst-launch-1.0 audiotestsrc ! "audio/x-raw, channels=2" ! deinterleave
name=i   \
     i. ! queue ! "audio/x-raw, channels=1" ! audioconvert dithering=0 !
"audio/x-raw, channels=2" ! wavescope ! videoconvert ! autovideosink   \
     i. ! queue ! "audio/x-raw, channels=1" ! audioconvert dithering=0 !
"audio/x-raw, channels=2" ! wavescope ! videoconvert ! autovideosink

So, here, deinterleave first splits up the channels, and then the
individual audioconvert elements convert mono to stereo by duplicating
samples. (I set dithering to 0 since I want audioconvert to strictly
duplicate samples, nothing else.)

You want the other way around, see deinterleave. I use that for an 8
channel codec that drives secretly different independent inputs. Note
that pulse audio can also do that for you, and will expose it in a much
simpler to use way.
