waveOutUnprepareHeader (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This function cleans up the preparation performed by waveOutPrepareHeader. The function must be called after the device driver is finished with a data block. You must call this function before freeing the data buffer.

Syntax

MMRESULT waveOutUnprepareHeader(
  HWAVEOUT hwo, 
  LPWAVEHDR pwh, 
  UINT cbwh 
); 

Parameters

  • hwo
    Handle to the waveform-audio output device.
  • pwh
    Pointer to a WAVEHDR structure identifying the data block to be cleaned up.
  • cbwh
    Size, in bytes, of the WAVEHDR structure.

Remarks

This function complements waveOutPrepareHeader. You must call this function before freeing the buffer. After passing a buffer to the device driver with the waveOutWrite function, you must wait until the driver is finished with the buffer before calling waveOutUnprepareHeader.

Unpreparing a buffer that has not been prepared has no effect, and the function returns zero.
