### Creating a Scraped Example for a Function

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/scrape-examples-help.html

This example demonstrates how to create a separate Rust file (`examples/ex.rs`) that calls a documented function from your crate. This call will be scraped and included in the documentation for `a_func`.

```rust
// examples/ex.rs
fn main() {
  a_crate::a_func();
}

Plays a 440 Hz sine wave for 5 seconds using the default audio output device. Ensure the `run_output_device` function is available in scope.

```rust
#[allow(clippy::needless_return)]
pub fn run_output_device<C>(
    params: OutputDeviceParameters,
    data_callback: C,
) -> Result<OutputDevice, Box<dyn Error>>
where

### run_output_device Function

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/fn.run_output_device.html

Creates a new output device using the system's default audio output. It takes output device parameters and a mutable closure that will be called to generate audio samples.

```APIDOC
## Function run_output_device

### Description
Creates a new output device that uses default audio output device of your operating system to play the samples produced by the specified `data_callback`. The callback will be called periodically to generate another portion of samples.

### Signature
```rust
pub fn run_output_device<C>(
    params: OutputDeviceParameters,
    data_callback: C,
) -> Result<OutputDevice, Box<dyn Error>>
where
    C: FnMut(&mut [f32]) + Send + 'static,
```

### Parameters
* `params` (OutputDeviceParameters): Configuration for the output device, including channel count, sample rate, and sample count per channel.
* `data_callback` (C): A mutable closure that takes a mutable slice of f32 samples and is responsible for filling it with audio data. It must be `Send` and have a `'static` lifetime.

### Returns
* `Result<OutputDevice, Box<dyn Error>>`: Returns an `OutputDevice` on success, which can be used to manage the audio playback. Returns an error if the device cannot be created or managed.

### Examples
#### Playing a 440 Hz sine wave for 5 seconds
```rust
let params = OutputDeviceParameters {
    channels_count: 2,
    sample_rate: 44100,
    channel_sample_count: 4410,
};

let _device = run_output_device(params, {
    let mut clock = 0f32;
    move |data| {
        for samples in data.chunks_mut(params.channels_count) {
            clock = (clock + 1.0) % params.sample_rate as f32;
            let value =
                (clock * 440.0 * 2.0 * std::f32::consts::PI / params.sample_rate as f32).sin();
            for sample in samples {
                *sample = value;
            }
        }
    }
})
.unwrap();

### OutputDeviceParameters Struct Definition

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDeviceParameters.html

Defines the parameters for an audio output device.

```APIDOC
## Struct OutputDeviceParameters

### Description
Parameters of an output device.

### Fields
- `sample_rate: usize` - Sample rate of your audio data. Typical values are: 11025 Hz, 22050 Hz, 44100 Hz (default), 48000 Hz, 96000 Hz.
- `channels_count: usize` - Desired amount of audio channels. Must be at least one. Typical values: 1 - mono, 2 - stereo, etc. The data provided by the call back is _interleaved_ , which means that if you have two channels then the sample layout will be like so: `LRLRLR..`, where `L` - a sample of left channel, and `R` a sample of right channel.
- `channel_sample_count: usize` - Amount of samples per each channel. Allows you to tweak audio latency, the more the value the more latency will be and vice versa. Keep in mind, that your data callback must be able to render the samples while previous portion of data is being played, otherwise you’ll get a glitchy audio. If you need to get a specific length in **seconds** , then you need to use sampling rate to calculate the required amount of samples per channel: `channel_sample_count = sample_rate * time_in_seconds`. The crate guarantees, that the intermediate buffer size will match the requested value.

### Unsupported Platform Error

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/lib.rs.html

Returns an error indicating that the current platform is not supported by the tinyaudio library. This handles cases not explicitly covered by other platform configurations.

```rust
#[cfg(not(any(
    target_os = "windows",
    target_os = "linux",
    target_os = "android",
    target_os = "macos",
    target_os = "ios",
    all(target_os = "unknown", target_arch = "wasm32")
)))]
{
    Err("Platform is not supported".to_string().into())
}
```

--------------------------------

### Borrow Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Immutably borrows the `OutputDevice`. This is part of the `Borrow` trait implementation.

```rust
fn borrow(&self) -> &T
```

--------------------------------

### ALSA Data Sending Loop

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/alsa.rs.html

Continuously processes audio data, converts it from f32 to i16, and writes it to the ALSA playback device. Includes a loop for attempting to recover from write errors.

```rust
pub fn run_send_loop(&mut self) {
        while self.is_running.load(Ordering::SeqCst) {
            (self.callback)(&mut self.data_buffer);

            debug_assert_eq!(self.data_buffer.len(), self.output_buffer.len());
            for (in_sample, out_sample) in
                self.data_buffer.iter().zip(self.output_buffer.iter_mut())
            {
                *out_sample = (*in_sample * i16::MAX as f32) as i16;
            }

            'try_loop: for _ in 0..10 {
                unsafe {
                    let err = snd_pcm_writei(
                        self.playback_device,
                        self.output_buffer.as_ptr() as *const _,
                        self.params.channel_sample_count as ::std::os::raw::c_ulong,
                    ) as i32;

                    if err < 0 {
                        // Try to recover from any errors and re-send data.
                        snd_pcm_recover(self.playback_device, err, 1);
                    } else {
                        break 'try_loop;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
```

### Linux PulseAudio Output Device

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/lib.rs.html

Selects PulseAudio for audio output on Linux when the 'pulse' feature is enabled and 'alsa' is not. Requires a PulseAudio server to be running.

```rust
#[cfg(all(feature = "pulse", not(feature = "alsa")))]
{
    return Ok(OutputDevice::new(pulse::PulseSoundDevice::new(
        params,
        data_callback,
    )?));
}
```

--------------------------------

### Linux Feature Selection Error

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/lib.rs.html

This compile-time error is triggered on Linux if neither the 'alsa' nor 'pulse' feature is selected, ensuring a valid audio backend is chosen.

```rust
#[cfg(all(not(feature = "alsa"), not(feature = "pulse")))]
{
    compile_error!("Select \"alsa\" or \"pulse\" feature to use an audio device on Linux")
}
```

--------------------------------

### From Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Returns the argument unchanged. This is part of the `From` trait implementation.

```rust
fn from(t: T) -> T
```

--------------------------------

### OutputDevice Struct Definition

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Defines the OutputDevice struct, which is an opaque handle to an audio output device. Its fields are private.

```rust
pub struct OutputDevice { /* private fields */ }
```

--------------------------------

### Into Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Calls `U::from(self)` to perform a conversion. This is part of the `Into` trait implementation.

```rust
fn into(self) -> U
```

--------------------------------

### TryInto Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Performs a conversion that may fail. The `Error` type is determined by the `TryFrom` implementation.

```rust
fn try_into(self) -> Result<U, <U as TryFrom<T>>::Error>
```

--------------------------------

### BorrowMut Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Mutably borrows the `OutputDevice`. This is part of the `BorrowMut` trait implementation.

```rust
fn borrow_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T
```

--------------------------------

### TryFrom Implementation

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Performs a conversion that may fail. The `Error` type is `Infallible`.

```rust
fn try_from(value: U) -> Result<T, <T as TryFrom<U>>::Error>
```

--------------------------------

### Implement Drop for AlsaSoundDevice

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/alsa.rs.html

Ensures the ALSA device is properly closed and the associated thread is joined when the AlsaSoundDevice goes out of scope. This prevents resource leaks and ensures orderly shutdown.

```rust
impl Drop for AlsaSoundDevice {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        self.is_running.store(false, Ordering::SeqCst);

        self.thread_handle
            .take()
            .expect("Alsa thread must exist!")
            .join()
            .unwrap();

        unsafe {
            snd_pcm_close(self.playback_device);
        }
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Close Output Device

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Closes the output device and releases all system resources. Subsequent calls to this method have no effect.

```rust
pub fn close(&mut self)
```

--------------------------------

### OutputDevice::close

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDevice.html

Closes the output device and releases all system resources occupied by it. Subsequent calls to this method after the device has been closed will have no effect.

```APIDOC
## pub fn close(&mut self)

### Description
Closes the output device and release all system resources occupied by it. Any calls of this method after the device was closed does nothing.

### Method
`close`

### Parameters
- `&mut self`: A mutable reference to the `OutputDevice` instance.
```

--------------------------------

### CloneInto Method for Generic Types

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDeviceParameters.html

Uses borrowed data to replace owned data, typically by cloning.

```rust
fn clone_into(&self, target: &mut T)
```

--------------------------------

### Convert ALSA Error Code to String

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/alsa.rs.html

Converts an ALSA error code into a human-readable string. This is useful for debugging and providing informative error messages.

```rust
pub fn err_code_to_string(err_code: c_int) -> String {
    unsafe {
        let message = CStr::from_ptr(snd_strerror(err_code) as *const _) 
            .to_bytes()
            .to_vec();
        String::from_utf8(message).unwrap()
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Check ALSA Operation Result

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/src/tinyaudio/alsa.rs.html

Checks the return code of an ALSA operation. If the code indicates an error (less than 0), it returns a boxed error containing the string representation of the error.

```rust
pub fn check(err_code: c_int) -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    if err_code < 0 {
        Err(err_code_to_string(err_code).into())
    } else {
        Ok(())
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### ToOwned Method for Generic Types

Source: https://docs.rs/tinyaudio/2.0.0/tinyaudio/struct.OutputDeviceParameters.html

Creates owned data from borrowed data, typically by cloning.

```rust
fn to_owned(&self) -> T
```
