Members

lPlay

Play cursor in the play buffer or capture cursor in the capture buffer.

lWrite

Write cursor in the play buffer or read cursor in the capture buffer.

Remarks

Values are offsets from the start of the buffer, in bytes.

The cursor represented by lPlay is slightly ahead of the cursor represented by lWrite. The part of the buffer between the two is not ready for reading or writing. Applications can safely read data from a capture buffer or write data to a play buffer up to lWrite.
