CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS

The CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS enumeration is used in the flags parameter of the DirectSoundBuffer.ReadBuffer method to modify what is read or written from the sound buffer.

Enum CONST_DSBLOCKFLAGS
    DSBLOCK_DEFAULT         = 0
    DSBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER    = 2
    DSBLOCK_FROMWRITECURSOR = 1
End Enum

DSBLOCK_DEFAULT

Reads or writes from the position specified in the start parameter.

DSBLOCK_FROMWRITECURSOR

Reads or writes from the current read/write position, making a call to DirectSoundBuffer.GetCurrentPosition method unnecessary. If this flag is specified, the start parameter is ignored.

DSBLOCK_ENTIREBUFFER

Reads from or writes to the entire buffer. The size parameter is ignored.
