This structure contains fields for the AUDIO_UPDATE IOCtl.

typedef struct _audio_update {
  CHAR           iobuf_type;      /*  Transmit or receive. */
  CHAR FAR      *buffer_address;  /*  Address of buffer be added. */
  ULONG          buffer_length;   /*  Length of buffer to be added. */
  USHORT         rc;              /*  Return code. */
  void FAR      *reserved;        /*  Reserved. */
} audio_update;

typedef struct audio_update FAR *UPDATE;
Fields
iobuf_type (CHAR):Transmit or receive iobuf. The defined values for this field are:
XMIT_IOBUF 0
REC_IOBUF 1
buffer_address (CHAR FAR *):Address of buffer be added.
buffer_length (ULONG):Length of buffer to be added.
rc (USHORT):Return code. The following values are defined for rc.
MAX_NUM_BUFFERS_REACHED 9
UPDATE_GENERAL_FAILURE 10
INVALID_BUFFER_LENGTH 11
reserved (void FAR *) Reserved.

BOOL

Boolean.

Valid values are:

  • FALSE, which is 0
  • TRUE, which is 1
typedef unsigned long BOOL;

BYTE

A byte.

typedef unsigned char BYTE;

CHAR

Single-byte character.

#define CHAR char

CONTROL_PARM

This data structure contains fields for the pParm and ulParmSize fields of the DDCMDCONTROL data structure.

typedef struct _CONTROL_PARM {
  ULONG     ulTime;  /*  Time in milliseconds. */
} CONTROL_PARM;
Fields
ulTime (ULONG) Specifies the time in milliseconds. The stream handler sets the cue time when the ulCmd field of the DDCMDCONTROL data structure is DDCMD_ENABLE_EVENT. The PDD returns the current time for DDCMD_STOP and DDCMD_PAUSE.

DDCMDCOMMON

This data structure contains common fields between all DDCMD data structures.

typedef struct _ddcmd_common_parm {
  ULONG       ulFunction;  /*  Function requested by stream handler. */
  HSTREAM     hStream;     /*  Data stream instance. */
} DDCMDCOMMON;
Fields
ulFunction (ULONG) Specifies the function requested by the stream handler.
hStream (HSTREAM) Specifies the data stream instance for this event.

DDCMDCONTROL0

This data structure contains fields for the DDCMD_CONTROL message.

typedef struct _ddcmd_control_parm {
  ULONG       ulFunction;  /* Function requested. */
  HSTREAM     hStream;     /* Stream handle. */
  HEVENT      hEvent;      /* Event handle. */
  ULONG       ulCmd;       /* Flags. */
  PVOID       pParm;       /* Pointer to CONTROL_PARM. */
  ULONG       ulParmSize;  /* See CONTROL_PARM. */
} DDCMDCONTROL;
Fields
ulFunction (ULONG) Specifies the function requested by the stream handler.
hStream (HSTREAM) Specifies the stream handle that identifies the stream instance for this event.
hEvent (HEVENT) Event handle.
ulCmd (ULONG) Defines the following flags:
DDCMD_START Starts a device.
DDCMD_STOP Stops a device and returns the current stream time in milliseconds. All buffers in the PDD are flushed and everything is reset to 0. The device driver sends the current stream time back to the stream handler in milliseconds (using the pParm and ulParmSize fields). For example, return a ULONG of stream time (in milliseconds) and the ULONG of 4 bytes is input in the ulParmSizefield.
DDCMD_PAUSE Pauses the device and returns the current stream time in milliseconds. Unlike DDCMD_STOP, DDCMD_PAUSE is not destructive. The device driver is able to resume its function at a later time, exactly where it was paused. DDCMD_ PAUSE returns the current stream time in milliseconds within the pParm field.
DDCMD_RESUME Resumes a currently paused stream. DDCMD_RESUME is only honored if the stream was paused previously. If the stream was stopped and the stream handler issues DDCMD_RESUME, an ERROR_INVALID_SEQUENCE is returned.
DDCMD_ENABLE_EVENT Enables event detection if your PDD supports events. The event message is sent to the device driver and reviews the structure. The hEvent field is a unique handle that signifies the event. pParm contains the stream time with which the event should be detected. This command would be honored whether currently in a streaming state, pause, or stop.
For example, a stream handler is programmed to be detected at 1000 milliseconds in the stream. It sends a DDCMD_ENABLE_EVENT to the device driver with a unique handle event (hEvent) and 1000 milliseconds stated in the pParm field. The device driver obtains the handle event, makes sure there are no duplicate entries, and adds the hEvent to a link list or array (depending on how the device driver is implemented). The device driver now knows it must report an event back to the stream handler when 1000 milliseconds has been reached in the stream. See SHD_REPORT_EVENT for further information.
DDCMD_DISABLE_EVENT Disables event detection in the device driver. An event handle is passed from the structure. The device driver searches its linked list or array to find the matching event handle and deletes it from the list.
DDCMD_PAUSE_TIME Pauses the time but not the stream.
DDCMD_RESUME_TIME Resumes the time.
pParm (PVOID) Pointer to the CONTROL_PARM data structure.
ulParmSize (ULONG) Size of the CONTROL_PARM data structure.

This data structure contains fields for the DDCMD_DEREG_STREAM message.

typedef struct _ddcmd_deregister_parm {

  BOOL        fEOS;          /*  Whether or not this is the EOS buffer. */
  ULONG       ulParm1;       /*  Reserved for future use. */
  ULONG       ulParm2;       /*  Reserved for future use. */
  ULONG       ulLength;      /*  Length of the structure. */
} DDCMDREADWRITE;
Fields
ulFunction (ULONG) Specifies the function requested by the stream handler.
hStream (HSTREAM) Specifies the stream handle that identifies the stream instance for this event.
pBuffer (PVOID) Buffer pointer of the empty buffer that the device driver fills from its record operation.
ulBufferSize (ULONG) Specifies the buffer size of the empty buffer.
pProcessLin (PVOID) Provides the 32-bit process linear address to a Ring 3 stream handler so the stream handler will have access to the buffers if a GDT or physical address is requested.
fEOS (BOOL) Whether or not this is the EOS buffer.
ulParm1 (ULONG) For MPEG, contains the initial audio system clock reference (SCR).
ulParm2 (ULONG) For MPEG, contains the Presentation Time Stamp (PTS).

DDCMDREGISTER

This data structure contains fields for the DDCMD_REG_STREAM message.

  ULONG       ulStreamOperation;  /* Stream operation. */
  SPCBKEY     spcbkey;            /* Input to the VSD or PDD (optional) buffer size. */
  ULONG       ulBufSize;          /* VSD or PDD output buffer size in bytes. */
  ULONG       ulNumBufs;          /* VSD or PDD output total number of buffers for SPCB. */
  ULONG       ulAddressType;      /* VSD or PDD output (required) addr ptr type to data buffer. */
  ULONG       ulBytesPerUnit;     /* VSD or PDD output (unused, set to zero). */
  MMTIME      mmtimePerUnit;      /* VSD or PDD output (Unused, set to zero). */
  E_DCB       dcbAudio;           /* Stream handler DCB. */
  HID         hid;                /* Stream handler ID. */
} DDCMDREGISTER;
Fields
ulFunction (ULONG) Specifies the function requested by the stream handler.
hStream (HSTREAM) Specifies the stream handle to communicate with the stream handler at interrupt time.
ulSysFileNum (ULONG) Specifies the device handle so the VSD or PDD can map the device instance to hStream. This field has to map with how the device has been initialized during AUDIO_INIT.
pSHDEntryPoint (PSHDFN) Specifies the stream handler entry point so that the device driver can call back into the stream handler during streaming time to report interrupts and events. For VSDs this is a user-level stream handler entry point.
ulStreamOperation (ULONG) Specifies the stream operation (record or playback). The device driver should verify with how it has been initialized through IOCtls. The following stream operations are defined (VSDs should verify with VSD_SET or VSD_OPEN settings):
STREAM_OPERATION_CONSUME Playback.
STREAM_OPERATION_PRODUCE Record.
spcbkey (SPCBKEY) Specifies input to the VSD or PDD (optional) buffer size.
ulBufSize (ULONG) Specifies VSD or PDD output buffer size in bytes that will be sent to the driver. The caller will fill in a default value. If the device driver does not override this value, it will be used to determine the buffer size.
Note: The device driver sets this field to indicate the buffer size that it would like to receive from the streaming subsystem. For MIDI, this field is usually set to 512. For DMA-based audio or other systems where the interrupt rate equals the buffer rate, this field should be set to about 1/30 the quantity of data consumed or produced per second. This field supplies the system with a minimal buffer size for wave audio. Because other system elements also negotiate to determine buffer size and for software motion video, the system might provide buffers smaller than the size requested.
ulNumBufs (ULONG) Specifies VSD or PDD output total number of buffers that will be allocated. The caller will fill in a default value. If the device driver does not override this value, it will be used to determine the total number of buffers.
ulAddressType(ULONG) Specifies VSD or PDD output (required) address pointer type to data buffer. The VSD or PDD tells the stream handler what type of address pointer it expects the data buffer to be. The stream handler then requests this address type to the SSM, so that the Sync/Stream Manager will send the correct type for each buffer request.
ADDRESS_TYPE_VIRTUAL 0
ADDRESS_TYPE_PHYSICAL 1
ADDRESS_TYPE_LINEAR 2
ulBytesPerUnit (ULONG) Specifies VSD or PDD output (unused, set to zero). Device driver timing.
mmtimePerUnit (MMTIME) Specifies VSD or PDD output. Device driver timing. (Unused, set to zero.)
dcbAudio (E_DCB) Specifies the input stream handler device control block ( DCB).
hid (HID) Specifies the input stream handler ID to be used for all communication with the stream handler.

rInputList[8] (MCI_AUDIO_DEVID) Input devices are specified using an array of MCI_AUDIO_DEVIDdata structures in the rInputList field. Unused entries are set to NULL_INPUT. The MCI_AUDIO_DEVID structure permits device specification by type and ordinal number (for those audio adapters that support more than one device of a specific type). For example, to specify stereo line input, set:
rInputList[0].ulDevType = STEREO_LINE_INPUT
rInputList[0].ulDevNum  = 1

rOutputList[8] (MCI_AUDIO_DEVID) Output devices are specified using an array of MCI_AUDIO_DEVID data structures in the rOutputList field. Unused entries are set to NULL_OUTPUT. The MCI_AUDIO_DEVID structure permits device specification by type and ordinal number (for those audio adapters that support more than one device of a specific type). For example, to specify stereo line output, set:

rOutputList[0].ulDevType = STEREO_LINE_OUTPUT
rOutputList[0].ulDevNum  = DEVICE_1.
prMoreInputs (LPMCI_AUDIO_DEVID) Pointer to additional input device IDs.
prMoreOutputs (LPMCI_AUDIO_DEVID) Pointer to additional output device IDs.

MCI_AUDIO_CONTROL

This structure contains fields for the AUDIO_CONTROL function.

typedef struct _MCI_AUDIO_CONTROL {
  USHORT     usIOCtlRequest;
  VOID      *pbRequestInfo;
  ULONG      ulPosition;
  SHORT      sReturnCode;
} MCI_AUDIO_CONTROL;

typedef MCI_AUDIO_CONTROL FAR *LPMCI_AUDIO_CONTROL
Fields
usIOCtlRequest (USHORT) IOCtl request to be executed. The defined values for this field are:
AUDIO_CHANGE (0) Enables an application to change adapter characteristics. It is issued while the audio device is open. The characteristics contained in the MCI_AUDIO_CHANGE structure such as input source can be changed by this request.
Note: AUDIO_CHANGE requests have the potential to break the data flow. Some audio devices might require that input, output, and monitor selections be performed prior to starting a change operation.
To change an adapter's characteristics, the desired values should be placed in the respective fields and the request issued. Notice that all possible combinations of these fields are not necessarily supported by the device driver. Invalid combinations result in an error returned by AUDIO_CHANGE.
The effects of issuing this request can vary for each requested change. If a given field is to remain unchanged, set that field to AUDIO_IGNORE (-1).
AUDIO_START (1) Initiates the flow of audio data to or from the adapter. It also causes the internal position and timing values to be set to the value contained in ulPosition. Therefore, an immediate call to AUDIO_BUFFER returns a position value equal to the ulPosition value specified in AUDIO_ START. The audio device must be opened and initialized (through OPEN and AUDIO_INIT requests) before calling AUDIO_START. Otherwise, an error is returned.
There is no pbRequestInfo field for AUDIO_START.
AUDIO_STOP (2) Stops the current activity in progress on the audio device. For example, if the device was recording, the recording activity would be stopped. This operation does not change the current configuration (such as sampling rate, input source, and so forth) of the device; it simply terminates the current operation. Consequently, it also stops data flow between the device driver and the application. Any data left in the buffers is discarded. Notice that the Write buffers can be drained using the AUDIO_WAIT request. Use the AUDIO_PAUSE operation instead of AUDIO_STOP if the operation must be resumed at the point it left off.
The ulPositionvalue is used to specify when the stop is to occur. A value of less than the current position or 0results in an immediate execution of the stop.
There is no pbRequestInfofield for AUDIO_STOP.
AUDIO_PAUSE (3) Used to suspend all data flow between the application and the adapter. This request does not flush the kernel buffers or the adapter buffers. Data flow can be resumed by using AUDIO_RESUME. If recording, data is lost during the time that the device driver is paused.
The pbRequestInfovalue is used to specify when the pause is to occur. A value of less than the current position results in an immediate pause.
There is no pbRequestInfofield for AUDIO_PAUSE.
AUDIO_RESUME (4) Used to resume the flow of data that was suspended by AUDIO_PAUSE. Notice that an ulPositionvalue of non-zero is not currently defined and should not be used.
There is no pbRequestInfofield for AUDIO_RESUME.
pbRequestInfo Pointer to a structure that contains information specific to each type of IOCtl request. See the IOCtl request descriptions above for specifics on what pbRequestInfo points to for each request. Notice that these requests are executed at a point in time specified by the caller.
ulPosition (ULONG) Number of units before the request should be executed. This value is used to specify cue points. Caller requests are executed ulPosition number of units from the beginning of the first Write operation after opening a track. Depending on the DSP code loaded and the current mode of operation, units can be bytes, time, or some other unit of measure. For example, to increase the volume of a track after the first 1,000 milliseconds of data have been written to the adapter, issue an AUDIO_ CHANGE request with ulPosition set to 1000. This example assumes that the track information pointed to by :pbRequestInfo has been initialized appropriately, and that MCI_AUDIO_BUFFER.ulPositionType = POS_MSECS.
If a request is made for a position number that has already occurred, it is processed immediately. Requests with a position number of 0are also processed immediately.
sReturnCode (SHORT) Used to return any error code. The defined values for this field are:
AC_UNINITED 1 /* Device must be initialized or loaded first */
FULL_QUEUE 2 /* Max. number of requests exceeded */
AC_UNPAUSED 3 /* Resume issued, but device not paused */

typedef MCI_AUDIO_HPI FAR *LPMCI_AUDIO_HPI;
Fields
pvEntry () (VOID FAR *) Pointer to the direct-call entry point. The direct call interface is defined below.
void (far *iobuf.ep)(short funcid, void far *data, short len);

/* Definitions for funcid */

EP_WAIT       9
EP_HPI       10
EP_UPDATE    11
/* On return, AX contains an error code, or 0 if successful */
pvCallBack () (VOID FAR *) Pointer to the callback routine. The application passes the address of a callback routine (under DOS) or system semaphore handle (under OS/2) in pvCallBack (). Notice that the DOS callback routine must be an interrupt routine, that is, it must return with an IRET, not a RET instruction. Care must be taken not to re-enter DOS. For example, the interrupt can occur while executing a DOS call. Any call to DOS made in the callback routine will result in DOS being entered a second time and will probably cause a system halt.
If not NULL, the address is called (under DOS) or the semaphore is cleared (under OS/2) based on the state of the CBDATA, CBBLOCK, CBIOBUF, and CBERROR flags in usRunFlags:
CBDATA The address is called (under DOS) or the semaphore is cleared (under OS/2) for each data byte sent to, or received from, the device. Notice that some devices transfer data to and from the host only in blocks, in which case this bit has the same effect as CBBLOCK.
CBBLOCK The address is called or the semaphore is cleared for each complete block of data sent to, or received from, the device.
CBIOBUF The address is called or the semaphore is cleared each time the entire contents of IOBUF are sent to, or received from, the device.
CBERROR The address is called or the semaphore is cleared each time a device error is detected by the device.
CBUNDERRUN The address is called or the semaphore is cleared each time an underrun or overrun is detected by the device.
This process will continue until either the device is stopped (or closed) or the AUDIO_HPI function is called again with pvCallBack ()set to NULL. The device interrupt rate generally corresponds with the position resolution returned in lResolutionof the MCI_AUDIO_INIT structure.
prXBuff (LPMCI_AUDIO_IOBUFFER) Pointer to new Transmit buffer to use. Set prXBuff to NULL to use the default internal buffers.
prRBuff (LPMCI_AUDIO_IOBUFFER) Pointer to new Receive buffer to use. Set prRBuff to NULL to use the default internal buffers.
By default, the internal buffer sizes are usually 512 bytes. Any buffers provided must be an even number of bytes in length.
usFlags (USHORT) Reserved.

sChannels (SHORT) Indicates the number of audio channels, for example, mono is 1, stereo is 2.

lResolution (LONG) Set to indicate the resolution of position data returned by the device driver. For example, the M-ACPA device driver can return position data rounded to the nearest 100 milliseconds when playing AVC ADPCM (.1-second blocked) data.

abLoadPath[LOAD_PATH] (CHAR) If the digital signal processor (DSP) code must be loaded before the operation can be performed, the device driver sets the LOAD_CODE bit in ulFlags. In this case, the name of the DSP file to be loaded is specified in the abLoadPath field. Notice that the application must call AUDIO_LOAD before trying to perform Read or Write operations.

Keep a single copy of each DSP load module maintained and grouped together in a single subdirectory. This subdirectory can be referenced in the DOS APPEND command or the OS/2 DPATH CONFIG.SYS statement.

MIGRATION          0x80000008      /* Speech Viewer/2 */

Notice that the high-order bit is set in all cases.

sReturnCode (SHORT) Return code for the operation. The defined values for sReturnCode are:

pvReserved (VOID FAR *) The caller must fill this field in with a ulSysFileNumber.

ulVersionLevel (ULONG) Specifies the audio device driver version. As audio device drivers evolve, some changes are sure to occur. The ulVersionLevel field is used to allow new functions to be added to audio device drivers without losing compatibility with existing applications.

When an application calls AUDIO_INIT, it specifies the version level of the requested device driver. The audio device driver compares its version level with that passed by the application and ensures that they are compatible. If the device driver is an earlier version than that required by the application, it returns an error. If the version level of the device driver is newer than the application, the driver ensures that calls from the application are handled in a manner consistent with the version level of the application.

The value specified in ulVersionLevel is the binary-coded decimal representation of the version and build level. For example, Version 1.0 Build 15 is coded 0x01000015. The high-order byte is the version, the next byte is the revision number, and the least significant two bytes are the build number.

  MMTIME      mmtimePerUnit;    /*  MMTIME per unit. */
} SPCB;

typedef SPCB FAR *PSPCB;
Fields
ulSPCBLen (ULONG) Specifies the length of the stream protocol control block.
spcbkey (SPCBKEY) Data stream type and internal key. The internal key is used to differentiate between multiple SPCBs of the same data stream type. User defines should be addressed to 8,000,000(h) and higher.
ulDataFlags (ULONG) Attributes of the data type (that is, it specifies whether data or time cue points are supported by this data type).
  • SPCBDATA_CUEDATA :This data type can support data cue-point events.
  • SPCBDATA_CUETIME :This data type can support time cue-point events.
  • SPCBDATA_NOSEEK :Seeking cannot be done on this data type.
  • SPCBDATA_YIELDTIME :This flag indicates that the ulBytesPerUnit field of the SPCB is interpreted as a millisecond yield time value. This yield takes place in between each I/O read operation. The yield time will also dynamically lower during data streaming depending on how many buffers in the stream are full. This flag is mutually exclusive with the SPCBHAND_ GENTIME flag and it can only be used with the SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED flag. The maximum yield time is 1 second.
ulNumRec (ULONG) Maximum number of records per buffer. (This is valid only for split streams).
ulBlockSize (ULONG) This field can be interpreted in two ways. If the SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED flag is set, then this field is interpreted as the size of the I/O read operation. This is used to request a read buffer of a smaller size than the ulBufSize field. The source stream handler will take the buffer of ulBufSize and break up the actual I/O reads into ulBlockSize chunks. If ulBlockSize is 1, then the ulBufSize is used as the default I/O read buffer size. Otherwise, ulBlockSize will be the I/O read buffer size. The ulBufSize value must be a multiple of the ulBlockSize value.
The second interpretation of this field is for non-interleaved streams, when the SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED is not set. The ulBlockSize field represents the atom size of a data item. For example, for digital audio data type PCM 16-bit stereo at a 44.1KB sampling rate, the block size is 4 bytes.
ulBufSize (ULONG) Size of buffer to be used while streaming. Maximum buffer size is 64KB.
ulMinBuf (ULONG) Minimum number of buffers needed to maintain a constant data stream.
ulMaxBuf (ULONG) Maximum (ideal) number of buffers needed. For normal streams, this means the number of buffers that are allocated for the stream . For user-provided buffer streaming, this means the number of buffers that the Sync/Stream Manager can queue for a consumer. This can be used by a source stream handler that gives the same set of buffers to the Sync/Stream Manager repeatedly. If the number of buffers is set to the number of buffers in the set -1, the source stream handler will be able to detect when the target has consumed a buffer so it can be reused. It is assumed that the set of buffers is an ordered set and each buffer is used in the same order each time.
ulSrcStart (ULONG) Number of empty buffers required to start the source stream handler. The value must be at least as big as the maximum number of buffers that would be requested by the source stream handler.
ulTgtStart (ULONG) Number of full buffers required to start the target stream handler. The value must be at least as big as the maximum number of buffers that would be requested by the target stream handler. Usually, a target requires at least two buffers at the start of the stream.
ulBufFlags (ULONG) Buffer attributes (that is, the user provides buffers, fixed block size, interleaved data type, maximum buffer size).
  • SPCBBUF_16MEG :The stream buffers can be allocated above the 16MB line. This is used by stream handler device drivers that can support greater than 16MB addresses.
  • SPCBBUF_FIXEDBUF :The buffer size for this stream handler must be a particular fixed size (for this data type). The SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED flag ( split stream) implies SPCBBUF_FIXEDBUF.
  • SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED :This is a split stream. It consists of one input stream of interleaved data that is split into multiple streams of individual data types. Only the source stream handler can set this flag. This flag is mutually exclusive with the SPCBBUF_USERPROVIDED flag. SPCBBUF _FIXEDBUF cannot be used with this flag set.
  • SPCBBUF_MAXSIZE :The ulBufSizefield contains the maximum size buffer that this stream handler can handle.
  • SPCBBUF_NONCONTIGUOUS :Each data buffer is allocated contiguously in physical memory unless both stream handlers set the non-contiguous flag ( SPCBBUF_NONCONTIGUOUS). This flag provides the system flexibility in allocating memory. A device driver stream handler might require contiguous memory, while a DLL stream handler might not.
  • SPCBBUF_USERPROVIDED :The user provides buffers for streaming. The Sync/ Stream Manager does not allocate buffers but attempts to lock down user- provided buffers or copy the data to locked buffers. Using this flag affects the performance of streaming. Only a source stream handler can set this flag. This flag is mutually exclusive with the SPCBBUF_INTERLEAVED flag.
ulHandFlags (ULONG) Stream handler flags (that is, handlers can generate/ receive sync pulses, use the Sync/Stream Manager timer as master, and use the non-streaming handler as a NULL handler).
  • SPCBHAND_GENSYNC
This stream handler can generate sync pulses.
  • SPCBHAND_GENTIME
This stream handler can keep track of the real stream time . This handler also supports the SpiGetTime function and cue point events.
  • SPCBHAND_NOPREROLL
This stream handler cannot preroll its device (that is, for recording streams, the source stream handler cannot be prerolled). If asked to preroll this stream, the Sync/Stream Manager treats this stream as if it were prerolled.
  • SPCBHAND_NONSTREAM
This stream handler is a non-streaming handler (that is, it is a stream handler that can participate in synchronization but does not stream).
  • SPCBHAND_NOSYNC
This stream handler can be in a sync group but does not receive or generate sync pulses. (It is useful to group streams so that they can be manipulated as a group).
  • SPCBHAND_PHYS_SEEK
This stream handler does a seek to a physical device. Other stream handlers adjust stream time only on a seek request. The Sync/ Stream Manager always calls this stream handler first in an SpiSeekStream call.
  • SPCBHAND_RCVSYNC
This stream handler can receive sync pulses.
  • SPCBHAND_TIMER
This stream handler or the device (driver) it communicates with cannot support generation of sync pulses on a granularity necessary for synchronization. Therefore, use the stream manager sync timer as the master timer in a sync group.
mmtimeTolerance (MMTIME) It is used to determine whether to send a sync pulse to a specific slave stream handler.
mmtimeSync (MMTIME) Time interval in Chinatown units between sync pulses. Used to save sync pulse generation granularity if this stream handler is a master but cannot generate its own sync pulse.
ulBytesPerUnit (ULONG) Bytes per unit of time. This is used to do a seek on linear data that is not compressed or of variable length. Also used for SHC_GET_TIME queries in a stream handler.
mmtimePerUnit (MMTIME) The amount of MMTIME each unit represents. This also is used for the SHC_SEEK and SHC_GETTIME messages.
