    OK, thanks. Another question: I have @unsigned char const* data@ with size @unsigned dataSize@ , qFromBigEndian needs to chose type (qInt16,qInt32,qInt64), and returns value of it's type, but how can I put this data back into unsigned char const* array with size of dataSize ?

      This does not helped:
      @
      char * dt = new char[dataSize];
      itoa(qFromBigEndian<qint16>(data),dt,2);
      m_buf->writeData((const char*)dt,dataSize);
      delete dt;
      @

        Edited to :
        @qint16 val = qFromBigEndian<qint16>(data);
        uchar* dt = new uchar[dataSize];
        qToLittleEndian<qint16>(val,dt);
        m_buf->writeData((const char*)dt,dataSize);
        delete dt;@
        But the quality of audio is worse then without conversation.

          I write function:
          @bool SpeakerSink::toLittleEndian( const char * src, int size, int nBits)
          {
          if(src == NULL)
          return false;

          for (int i = 0; i < size; i+=nBits) {
              qint16 val = qFromBigEndian<qint16>((const uchar*)(src+i));
              qMemCopy((void*)(src+i),&val,nBits);
          }
          
          return true;
          

          }@
          It solve task of converting from big-endian to little-endian and in headphones I get the same result(I mean sound is recognizable but bad quality) as if my server will transmit data without conversation to big-endian. But sound still distorted and interrupts.

            I open VLC player and receive this stream normally, then I look at codec details and see some PCM S16BE(twos). So what is it and can I transform data to play normal PCM on QAudioOutput ? So is it 16-bit Big-endian pcm or something else? What means S ?

              I record output of my sound card when receiving stream with sine of 1000 Hz. After opening it in Sound Forge I see pauses in this sine with delays from 5 ms to 25 ms but sine has the same shape(I mean no distortions).

                Sorry, no idea what kind of data you send around your network;-)

                Why do you have nBits in the toLittleEndian method shown above? Anything but nBits == 2 breaks the method, doesn't it? The name is rather confusing, too... shouldn't it at least be nBytes?

                  You're right the name must be at least nBytes :) Maybe QAudioOutput reads the buffer faster than it writes by receiving data from network, and I just need to wait some time before playing.

                    I rewrite my audio buffer class. Now it looks like this:
                    @#ifndef AUDIOBUFFER_H
                    #define AUDIOBUFFER_H

                    #include <QAudioFormat>
                    #include <QIODevice>
                    #include <QMutex>
                    #include <QDebug>

                    class AudioBuffer : public QIODevice
                    {
                    Q_OBJECT

                    public:

                    AudioBuffer(/const QAudioFormat &format,/ QObject parent = NULL, int bufSize = 1400) : QIODevice(parent)

                    m_bufSize = bufSize
                    4;

                        m_buffer1 = new const char[m_bufSize];
                        m_buffer2 = new const char[m_bufSize];

                    //----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    private:
                    const char * m_buffer1;
                    const char * m_buffer2;
                    int m_rightOffset;
                    int m_leftOffset;
                    int m_cursor;
                    int m_bufSize;
                    };

                    #endif//AUDIOBUFFER_H@
                    And now I'm using it like this:
                    @m_output->start(m_buf);@
                    and it enters write data functions, but doesn't reads data. So question: How QAudioOutput asks for the data to play from QIODevice ? Is it call readData function or not ? And one more question: Is it possible to play rtsp stream using Phonon ?

                        Interesting thing: when I play 22050 Hz 16 bit 2 channels audio stream - it plays normally without interruptions, but when playing 44100 Hz 16 bit stereo - not. If I open same stream(44 kHz) in VLC player or any other it plays normally without interruptions.

                          this is an interesting thread. a QAudioOuput from a buffer example should be added to the document.

                          too bad the document only has an example of playing a file.

                            has this issue been resolved yet? I also need to achieve the same thing?

                                I had a similar problem using a ringbuffer as a QIODevice backend for which I spent a whole day. The solution was to override the following method:

                                @bool isSequential() const
                                {
                                return true;
                                }@

                                  I had a similar problem using a ringbuffer as a QIODevice backend for which I spent a whole day. The solution was to override the following method:

                                  @bool isSequential() const
                                  {
                                  return true;
                                  }@
