I was just wondering if anyone knows if there's any intention to document the
Vista audio system in the WDK (or anywhere else for that matter). What's
currently in the WDK really only speaks about the way things work in XP, and
there have been many gems of information I've gleaned from this list (such as
the PKEY_AudioEngine_OEMFormat and PKEY_AudioDevice_SetupPreferred INF registry
keys) that have been invaluable in getting my drivers to work satisfactorily
under Vista. There's nothing in there about endpoints, and even WaveRT is only
mentioned briefly in passing, with just a link to the preview document at
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/wavertport.mspx.
Are we even supposed to be using WaveRT in commercially released drivers, or is
this still considered experimental? The latest (September 2007) release of this
document still describes itself as a preview and states:
"This is a preliminary document and may be changed substantially prior to final
commercial release of the software described herein. The information contained
