[Flac-dev] Re: FLAC format

Hi,

>That's what I wanted to say a month ago.

Mr. Blum, I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you. My mistake. I choose an
ACM codec because it's the only option that works on every Windows Platform,
and since the DirectShow has a generic wrapper that allows it to use ACM
codecs, it appeared a good idea. I didn't note that the file format was
going to be a problem. But I think a have a solution that can allow me to
achieve my initial goal of compatibility. I can simple write a DirectShow
source filter to read the FLAC file, then the ACM codec can treat the
stream. And the AVIs with embedded FLAC audio will be readable in every
Windows Platform.

obsolete.

I believe the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure is available only for WDM audio
drivers. Is it true? The WDM drivers are included with all the necessary
functionality only in Windows 98SE or later. I think it's a big problem.
What do you think?

Daniel
