New events
InputFormatsAvailable
SPECIAL NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: in order to speed up the creation of the form containing the recorder control, we had the need to make a slight modification to the internal architecture of the multimedia engine and of the recorder control. After this modification, the following methods will not be immediately available and your application will have to wait for the new InputFormatsAvailable event before calling them:
- GetWmaEncodingBitratesCount
- GetWmaEncodingBitrate
- GetSupportedRecordFormatsCount
- GetSupportedRecordFormatDesc
- GetWmaEncodingVBRQualitiesCount
- GetWmaEncodingVBRQuality
The usage of the new InputFormatsAvailable event is shown inside the following updated samples:
- SimpleMp3Rec
- SimpleOggRec
- SimpleWavRec
- SimpleWmaRec
If your application shouldn't be using the mentioned methods, there should be nothing to be worried about and you won't have to modify your code.
