Tim,

 

Also, DirectSound has a flag that specifies if the audio will play
continuously regardless of which application has the focus or if the
audio should stop playing if the application loses focus. This is why
there is the notion of dropped audio packets in

the DirectSound documentation. Of course you probably know all this but
it never hurts to be through.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Multiple Audio Devices

 

We have a (potential) client who complains that he cannot drive two
separate audio cards simultaneously from two separate processes.  He
says that when one process goes foreground, audio from the other process
stops.

Before we agree to help them with this, I wanted to ask if there were
any architectural reasons for this.  I rather strongly suspect it is a
coding error on their part, but I may be out of touch.
