## Details

### struct SpiceAudio

    struct SpiceAudio;

The SpiceAudio struct is opaque and should not be accessed directly.

### struct SpiceAudioClass

    struct SpiceAudioClass {
        GObjectClass parent_class;
    };

GObjectClass `parent_class`; | Parent class.

### spice_audio_get ()

    SpiceAudio *        spice_audio_get                     (SpiceSession *session,
                                                             GMainContext *context);

Gets the SpiceAudio associated with the passed in SpiceSession. A new SpiceAudio instance will be created the first time this function is called for a certain SpiceSession.

Note that this function returns a weak reference, which should not be used after the SpiceSession itself has been unref-ed by the caller.

`session` : | the SpiceSession to connect to
`context` : | a GMainContext to attach to (or `NULL` for default). [allow-none]
Returns : | a weak reference to a SpiceAudio instance or `NULL` if failed. [transfer none]

### spice_audio_new ()

    SpiceAudio *        spice_audio_new                     (SpiceSession *session,
                                                             GMainContext *context,
                                                             const char *name);

### Warning

`spice_audio_new` has been deprecated since version 0.8 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `spice_audio_get()` instead

Once instantiated, SpiceAudio will handle the playback and record channels to stream to your local audio system.

`session` : | the SpiceSession to connect to
`context` : | a GMainContext to attach to (or `NULL` for default).
`name` : | a name for the audio channels (or `NULL` for application name).
Returns : | a new SpiceAudio instance or `NULL` if no backend or failed.
