Decoder Settings for Windows Media Center Edition
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and later uses the ICodecAPI interface to configure the audio decoder filter for television and DVD playback. The following properties are supported.
| Property GUID | Description |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT | Configures the audio output format. See Remarks. |
Remarks
The value of the CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT property is a string representation of a GUID, stored as a BSTR value. The following GUIDs are defined.
| GUID | Description |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT_PCM_STEREO_MATRIXENCODED | The software audio filter should perform software decoding and output a stereo audio stream, with the multichannel audio matrix encoded to the two channels. |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT_PCM_STEREO | The software audio filter should perform software decoding and output a stereo audio stream. |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT_SPDIF_PCM | The software audio filter should perform software audio decoding, even though the physical output from the PC may be a digital interface, such as S/PDIF. |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT_SPDIF_BITSTREAM | The software audio filter should not perform software audio decoding, but should pass the raw digital audio bitstream for external processing by a device connected with a digital audio link, such as S/PDIF. |
| CODECAPI_AUDIO_OUTPUT_FORMAT_PCM_HEADPHONES | The software audio filter should perform software audio decoding and should apply proprietary processing to optimize for headphones. Support for this setting is optional. |
- Note The ICodecAPI interface stores codec properties as key/value pairs, where the key is a GUID and the value is a VARIANT type.
