IMediaStream Interface (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
This interface provides access to the characteristics of a media stream, such as the stream's media type and purpose ID. It also has methods that create data samples.
Implement this interface when you want to add media type-specific functionality to your media stream.
This interface is implemented on multimedia stream objects. IMediaStream provides generic sample-creation methods, but you usually want to write a more powerful version of these methods that will take advantage of your media type's specific characteristics.
Use this interface when your application needs to access a stream's media type information and create data samples.
