    Function Documentation

    QList<EffectDescription> BackendCapabilities::availableAudioEffects ()

    Returns descriptions for the audio effects the backend supports.

    Returns A list of AudioEffectDescription objects that give a name and description for every supported audio effect.

    QList<AudioOutputDevice> BackendCapabilities::availableAudioOutputDevices ()

    Returns the audio output devices the backend supports.

    Returns A list of AudioOutputDevice objects that give a name and description for every supported audio output device.

    QStringList BackendCapabilities::availableMimeTypes ()

    Returns a list of mime types that the Backend can decode.

    See also isMimeTypeAvailable().

    bool BackendCapabilities::isMimeTypeAvailable ( const QString & mimeType )

    Often all you want to know is whether one given MIME type can be decoded by the backend. Use this method in favor of availableMimeTypes() as it can give you a negative answer without having a backend loaded.

    Returns true if the given mimeType is supported by the backend; otherwise, returns false.

    See also availableMimeTypes().

    Notifier * BackendCapabilities::notifier ()

    Use this function to get a QObject pointer to connect to the capabilitiesChanged signal.

    Returns a pointer to a QObject.

    The capabilitiesChanged signal is emitted if the capabilities have changed. This can happen if the user has requested a backend change.

    To connect to this signal do the following:

     QObject::connect(BackendCapabilities::notifier(), SIGNAL(capabilitiesChanged()), ...

    See also Notifier::capabilitiesChanged().
