The DirectMusicAudioPath8 class represents the stages of data flow from the performance to the DirectSound buffer. A standard audiopath can be created by using DirectMusicPerformance8.CreateStandardAudioPath.

Finally, an audiopath can be created from an audiopath configuration in a segment by using the DirectMusicPerformance8.CreateAudioPath method.
A DirectMusicAudioPath8 object is passed to DirectMusicPerformance8.PlaySegmentEx to play the segment on that audiopath.
The DirectMusicAudioPath8 class has the following methods.
