Executable: (SDK root)\Samples\Multimedia\VBSamples\DSound\Bin\Streamto.exe

User's Guide

Click Start Streaming to begin capturing sounds to a buffer. When you click End Streaming, you have the opportunity to enter a file name and save the sound to a file.

Programming Notes

The capture buffer holds 2 seconds of sound. Event notification is used to trigger writing of data to a temporary file. When the user ends capture and supplies a file name, the raw data is saved in Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) along with the wave format information.
