ISpAudio::SetFormat (Windows CE 5.0)
This method sets the format of the audio device. The format can be retrieved by calling the ISpStreamFormat::GetFormat method.
This method can be called only when the audio device is in the SPAS_CLOSED state. Successfully setting the format on an audio device does not necessarily mean that the format is supported. An attempt must be made to place the device into a non-closed state (SPAS_STOP, SPAS_PAUSE or SPAS_RUN) to be sure that the device can handle the format.
HRESULT SetFormat(REFGUID rguidFmtId,const WAVEFORMATEX* pWaveFormatEx);
Parameters
- rguidFmtId
[in] The reference GUID for the format to set. Typically this will be SPDFID_WaveFormatEx. This identifier is required for the SAPI multimedia objects. - pWaveFormatEx
[in] Pointer to a WAVEFORMATEX structure containing the wave file format information.
Remarks
The helper class CSpStreamFormat and the SPSTREAMFORMAT enumeration can be used to avoid the possibility of typos or mistakes when filling in the WAVEFORMATEX structure.
