function DirectInputMonitoringTest
% DirectInputMonitoringTest - Test "Zero latency direct input monitoring" feature of some sound cards.
%
% This test will currently only work on a subset of some ASIO 2.0 capable
% soundcards on Microsoft Windows operating systems with the latest
% PsychPortAudio driver and portaudio_x86 ASIO enabled plugin from the
% Psychtoolbox Wiki.
%
% The test allows you to exercise Direct input monitoring features on your
% soundcard if the card supports them.
%
% Use ESCape to exit. Space to toggle mute/unmute. 'i' key to change input
% channel to monitor, 'o' key to select output channel for monitoring. Use
% Cursor Up/Down to increase and decrease amplifier gain. Use Left/Right
% cursor keys to change stereo panning. The 'p' key puts the device into a
% fake playback mode.

% History:
% 2.8.2009  mk  Written.

% Preinit driver:
InitializePsychSound(1);

% Choose high level of debug output:
oldverbosity = PsychPortAudio('Verbosity', 10);

% Open auto-detected audio device in full-duplex mode for audio capture &
% playback, with lowlatency mode 1. Lowlatency mode is not strictly
% required, but has the nice side-effect to automatically assing the lowest
% latency audio device, which is an installed ASIO card on Windows or the
% ALSA audio system on Linux -- both are required for direct input
% monitoring to work:
pa = PsychPortAudio('Open', [], 1+2, 1, 48000, 2);

% Create a fake playback buffer and recording buffer, in case we need to do
% fake playback/recording:
PsychPortAudio('Fillbuffer', pa, zeros(2, 10));
PsychPortAudio('GetAudioData', pa, 1);

% Retrieve number of input- and output soundchannels for device pa:
status = PsychPortAudio('GetStatus', pa);
outdev = PsychPortAudio('GetDevices', [], status.OutDeviceIndex);
noutputs = outdev.NrOutputChannels;
inpdev = PsychPortAudio('GetDevices', [], status.InDeviceIndex);
ninputs = inpdev.NrInputChannels;

fprintf('\n\nDevice has %i input channels and %i output channels.\n\n', ninputs, noutputs);

% Select all inputchannels (-1) for monitoring. Could also spec a specific
% channel number >=0 to set monitoring settings on a per-channel basis:
inputchannel = -1;

% Output to channel 0 or channels 0 & 1 on a stereo output channel pair.
% Any even number would do:
outputchannel = 0;

% Start with maximum 12 dB gain: On Windows, values between -1 and +1 are
% valid on ASIO hardware for attenuation (-1 = -inf dB) or amplification
% (+1 = +12 dB).
if IsWin
    gain = 1.0;
end

% On OS/X we also set 12 dB gain, here the value actually specifies the
% requested dB value:
if IsOSX
    gain = 12.0;
end

% Sterat with centered output on a stero channel: Values between 0.0 and
% 1.0 select left <-> right stereo panning, 0.5 is centered:
pan = 0.5;
