Psychtoolbox>PsychPortAudio.{mex*} subfunction

PsychPortAudio(‘RefillBuffer’, pahandle [, bufferhandle=0], bufferdata [, startIndex=0]);

Refill part of an audio data playback buffer of a PortAudio audio device.
‘pahandle’ is the handle of the device whose buffer is to be filled.
‘bufferhandle’ is the handle of the buffer: Use a handle of zero for the
standard buffer created and accessed via ‘FillBuffer’.
‘bufferdata’ is a matrix with audio data in double() or single() format. Each
row of the matrix specifies one sound channel, each column one sample for each
channel. Only floating point values are supported. Samples need to be in range
-1.0 to +1.0, with 0.0 for silence. This is intentionally a very restricted
interface. For lowest latency and best timing we want you to provide audio data
exactly at the optimal format and sample rate, so the driver can save
computation time and latency for expensive sample rate conversion, sample format
conversion, and bounds checking/clipping.
Instead of a matrix, you can also pass in the bufferhandle of an audio buffer as
‘bufferdata’. This buffer must have been created beforehand via
PsychPortAudio(‘CreateBuffer’, …). Its content must satisfy the same
constraints as in case of passing a matrix. The content will be copied from the
given buffer to the standard audio buffer, so it is safe to delete that source
buffer if you want.
‘startIndex’ optional: Defines the first sample frame within the buffer where
refill should start. By default, refilling starts at the beginning of the buffer

• at sample frame 0. ‘startIndex’ allows to start refilling at some offset.
  Please note that ‘RefillBuffer’ can’t resize an existing buffer - you can’t fill
  in more data than the current buffer capacity permits. If you want to add more
  sound, you’ll need to use ‘FillBuffer’ or create a new buffer of proper
  capacity.
  ‘RefillBuffer’ can be used any time on a buffer, even if the buffer is currently
  playing, allowing for on-the-fly replacement of content. However be careful to
  avoid the currently played section, or you’ll hear audio artifacts. For
  streaming out audio content in a glitch-free way, you may want to use the
  ‘streamingrefill’ option of the ‘FillBuffer’ subfunction instead.
