Detect silence in the audio stream

[gbernaldo82]

Hi, good morning!

I'm juststarting to experiment with the library because I'm working on a project where I'm probably going to use. I'm completelly new in everything related to DSP or audio signal processing and all that kind of stuff.

My question is about detection of silence sections in the stream. I've seen the class Voicer() which has a method called Silence() which turns off all the audio stream. So my question is if there is anyway to detect a sector of silence into the audio stream?

I mean, my project has 12 microphones streaming and recording to the hard disk and the problem is when I record the stream, I record it with the silence. So is there anyway to detect the silence in the audio stream and just ignore it?

Thank you so much in advance!
