def combine_audio_frames(buffer: AudioFrame | list[AudioFrame]) -> AudioFrame:
    """
    Combines one or more `rtc.AudioFrame` objects into a single `rtc.AudioFrame`.

    This function concatenates the audio data from multiple frames, ensuring that
    all frames have the same sample rate and number of channels. It efficiently
    merges the data by preallocating the necessary memory and copying the frame
    data without unnecessary reallocations.

    Args:
        buffer: A single `rtc.AudioFrame` or a list of `rtc.AudioFrame`
            objects to be combined.

    Returns:
        rtc.AudioFrame: A new `rtc.AudioFrame` containing the combined audio data.

    Raises:
        ValueError: If the buffer is empty.
        ValueError: If frames have differing sample rates.
        ValueError: If frames have differing numbers of channels.

    Example:
        >>> frame1 = rtc.AudioFrame(
        ...     data=b"\x01\x02", sample_rate=48000, num_channels=2, samples_per_channel=1

Combines one or more rtc.AudioFrame objects into a single rtc.AudioFrame.

This function concatenates the audio data from multiple frames, ensuring that all frames have the same sample rate and number of channels. It efficiently merges the data by preallocating the necessary memory and copying the frame data without unnecessary reallocations.

Args

buffer

Returns

rtc.AudioFrame
A new rtc.AudioFrame containing the combined audio data.

Raises

ValueError
If the buffer is empty.
ValueError
If frames have differing sample rates.
ValueError
If frames have differing numbers of channels.
