Duplicating Buffers

You can create two or more secondary buffers containing the same data by using the DirectSound8.DuplicateSoundBuffer method. You cannot duplicate the primary buffer. There is no guarantee that the duplicate buffer actually shares memory with the original buffer, so it is unwise to make changes to one buffer in the expectation that these changes will be reflected in all duplicate buffers.
