The WM_CAP_GET_AUDIOFORMAT message obtains the audio format or the size of the audio format. You can send this message explicitly or by using the capGetAudioFormat and capGetAudioFormatSize macros.
WM_CAP_GET_AUDIOFORMAT
wParam = (WPARAM) (wSize);
lParam = (LPARAM) (LPVOID) (LPWAVEFORMATEX) (psAudioFormat);
Returns the size, in bytes, of the audio format.
Because compressed audio formats vary in size requirements applications must first retrieve the size, then allocate memory, and finally request the audio format data.
