The MCI_WAVE_OPEN_PARMS structure contains information for MCI_OPEN message for waveform audio devices. When assigning data to the fields in this data structure, set the corresponding MCI flags in the lParam1 parameter of mciSendCommand to validate the fields. You can use the MCI_OPEN_PARMS data structure in place of MCI_WAVE_OPEN_PARMS if you are not using the extended data fields.
