Problem writing wav to MemoryOuputStream

General JUCE discussion
1

If i’m writing a wav with AudioFormatWriter and FileOutputStream to disk than its ok.
When i’m writing it with MemoryOutputStream and than write it to disk, the wav is broken.
First it thought there is a missing flush, but also the header is different.

Wav with FileOutputStream (right) HEX

I’m just doing

[code] AudioSampleBuffer asb(1,1023);
asb.clear();

	File f(File::getSpecialLocation(File::userHomeDirectory).getChildFile("test.wav"));
	
	WavAudioFormat wavFormat;
	MemoryOutputStream* fos = new MemoryOutputStream();
	ScopedPointer<AudioFormatWriter> writer ( wavFormat.createWriterFor(fos, 48000., asb.getNumChannels(), 32, StringPairArray(), 0));

	if (writer==nullptr)
	{
		jassertfalse;
		delete fos;
	} else
	{
		 writer->writeFromAudioSampleBuffer(asb, 0, asb.getNumSamples());
		 MemoryBlock mb(fos->getMemoryBlock());
		 f.deleteFile();
		 f.appendData(mb.getData(),mb.getSize());;
	}[/code]

You’re pulling the data out of the stream before you delete the writer!

Yes aha, but the problem is, when i delete the writer, it will automatically delete the stream, where my MemoryBlock lives

AudioFormatWriter::~AudioFormatWriter() { delete output; }

4

Create a MemoryBlock, and tell the MemoryOutputStream to use that as its output.
