Hi Dugan,
Thank you for the answers. Realy good explanation. Could you please clarify
"will convert" in 2.? Does this mean MUST CONVERT or WILL CONVERT IN FUTURE
RELEASES? Right now if the application requests 48k using waveIn and the
system commands the driver into 44.1 we receive 44.1k stream. No conversion.
Thanks,
Nikolay

> Hi Nikolay. Here's a multi-part answer for you:

> 1. There is no programmatic way for an app to set the mmsys.cpl capture
rate, because the Vista philosophy is that no audio app can make configuration
changes that affect any other apps. The setting in mmsys.cpl is only meant to
be changed by the user.
>
> 2. If an app uses the legacy APIs (waveIn and DirectSoundCapture) to capture
audio at a rate other than mmsys.cpl's, the system will convert from the
mmsys.cpl rate to the app's requested rate using a sample rate converter.

the AUDCLNT_SHAREMODE_EXCLUSIVE flag), it can open the device in any format
supported by the driver, and no SRC will be used. The downside is that no
other app will be able capture audio.
>
> 4. If you need to use a legacy API, you can at least *discover* the system
capture rate setting using the new Vista APIs, and then capture at that rate,
to avoid the SRC; however this doesn't let you *control* the rate.
