Hi Gilles,

This is a great and simple sample to explain the new RAW audio pipeline in SL3.

I'm very excited about this feature as it opens a wide range of new realtime audio-visual experience!

Although, the main issue right now with the RAW audio is the high audio latency and then doesn't allow to make realtime audio performance, as it is reported here : http://silverlight.net/forums/p/82270/192635.aspx

It seems that the team working on the MediaStreamSource is aware of this problem, hope that a correction will be possible for the final release of SL3!

Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of the latency issue and should address it for the release. I don't know how low we'll be able to go (with lower the latencywe need to get the data from the app mre frequently).

Thanks for posting the code for this!

We currently are converting our Windows .WAV files to WMA on the server on demand and then playing them via SL2.

Unfortunately some of our audio files are in a Dialogic PCM muLaw format. So these go through 2 conversions to be played - first be converted to wav and then converted to WMA.

This will simplify things so much!
