The waveOutGetPlaybackRate function retrieves the current playback rate for the specified waveform-audio output device.
MMRESULT waveOutGetPlaybackRate(
HWAVEOUT hwo, | |
LPDWORD pdwRate | |
); |
The rate is specified as a fixed-point value. The high-order word of the variable contains the signed integer part of the number, and the low-order word contains the fractional part. A value of 0x8000 in the low-order word represents one-half, and 0x4000 represents one-quarter. For example, the value 0x00010000 specifies a multiplier of 1.0 (no playback rate change), and a value of 0x000F8000 specifies a multiplier of 15.5.
Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE |
Specified device handle is invalid. |
MMSYSERR_NODRIVER |
No device driver is present. |
MMSYSERR_NOMEM |
Unable to allocate or lock memory. |
MMSYSERR_NOTSUPPORTED |
Function isn’t supported. |
Changing the playback rate does not change the sample rate but does change the playback time. Not all devices support playback rate changes. To determine whether a device supports playback rate changes, use the WAVECAPS_PLAYBACKRATE flag to test the dwSupport member of the WAVEOUTCAPS structure (filled by the waveOutGetDevCaps function).
