waveOutSetPlaybackRate  K7893A 

The waveOutSetPlaybackRate function sets the playback rate for the specified waveform-audio output device.

MMRESULT waveOutSetPlaybackRate(

    HWAVEOUT hwo,

 

    DWORD dwRate

 

   );

 

 

Parameters

hwo

Handle of the waveform-audio output device.

dwRate

New playback rate setting. This setting is a multiplier indicating the current change in playback rate from the original authored setting. The playback rate multiplier must be a positive value.

The rate is specified as a fixed-point value. The high-order word 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.

 

Return Values

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.

 

Remarks

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).
