WORD waveOutWrite(hWaveOut, lpWaveOutHdr, wSize)
This function sends a data block to the specified waveform output device.
HWAVEOUT hWaveOut
Specifies a handle to the waveform output device.
LPWAVEHDR lpWaveOutHdr
Specifies a far pointer to a WAVEHDR structure containing information about the data block.
WORD wSize
Specifies the size of the WAVEHDR structure.
Returns zero if the function was successful. Otherwise, it returns an error number. Possible error returns are:
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE
Specified device handle is invalid.
WAVERR_UNPREPARED
lpWaveOutHdr hasn't been prepared.
The data buffer must be prepared with waveOutPrepareHeader before it is passed to waveOutWrite. The WAVEHDR data structure and the data buffer pointed to by its lpData field must be allocated with GlobalAlloc using the GMEM_MOVEABLE and GMEM_SHARE flags, and locked with GlobalLock. Unless the device is paused by calling waveOutPause, playback begins when the first data block is sent to the device.
