## Implemented Interfaces

BtSinkMachine implements GstChildProxy and BtPersistence.

## Includes

    #include <libbtcore/core.h>

## Description

Sinks are machines that do playback or recording of the song. The sink-machine utilizes the BtSinkBin to transparently switch elements between record (encoding) and playback.

## Functions

### bt_sink_machine_new ()

    BtSinkMachine *
    bt_sink_machine_new (const BtSong * const song,
                         const gchar * const id,
                         GError **err);

Create a new instance. The machine is automatically added to the setup from the given song object. You don't need to add the machine with

`bt_setup_add_machine(setup,BT_MACHINE(machine));`.

The element used for this machine is BtSinkBin which is configured according to the use-case (playback, recording). The playback device is taken from the BtSettings.

#### Parameters

song | the song the new instance belongs to |
id | the id, we can use to lookup the machine |
err | inform about failed instance creation |

#### Returns

the new instance or `NULL` in case of an error

## Types and Values

### struct BtSinkMachine

    struct BtSinkMachine;

Sub-class of a BtMachine that implements a signal output (a machine with inputs only).

### enum BtSinkMachinePatternIndex

Use this with `bt_machine_get_pattern_by_index()` to get the command patterns.

#### Members

BT_SINK_MACHINE_PATTERN_INDEX_BREAK | stop the pattern |
BT_SINK_MACHINE_PATTERN_INDEX_MUTE | mute the machine |
BT_SINK_MACHINE_PATTERN_INDEX_OFFSET | offset for real pattern ids |
