I can't see nothing in firefox or konqueror (same rendering engine than Apple's Safari)

I did include a VML warning :(

I don't know how to get the image to work using firefox unfortunately :(

What is VML? Sounds like I'm screwed if I have Safari.

I've put a screengrab up at:

Larry: you can download my image and put that up on your web/blog host and use that instead of the VML...

This thing is excessively broken on Safari. There's text apparently from the VML drawing all over the post, and I can't select any of the underlying text. Also there's no drawing at all. I had to tab through the entire navigation bar to get to the comment button...

Can 3rd parties write their own transports and/or APOs, i.e. will there be publicly documented interfaces for implementing them?

In particular I'm interested in writing a transport similiar to the RDP transport to route audio to a remote network device.

re: Audio in Vista, the big picture

LarryOsterman — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 23:02:18 GMT

Sean, yes, IHVs will have the ability to write APOs for their audio solution.

I'm not 100% on the transport issue.

re: Audio in Vista, the big picture

Sean McLeod — Tue, 07 Mar 2006 23:13:30 GMT

What about ISVs writing an APO, e.g. a graphic equalizer that is indepedent of any particular hardware audio solution?

If so then if ISVs can't write their own transport I could get my APO inserted into the graph which would copy the audio samples to the target network device and allow the samples to continue through the graph to the local audio driver.

Hey Larry,

I think you could reach a bigger audience if you just took a screenshot of the page in IE and replaced the VML with the image of the screenshot. I created a GIF image from the page in IE and it was only 45kb so I dont think that bandwidth would be a big deal.

During this series, can you work in a discussion of how Secure Audio Path fits in?

All what I want from Vista’s Audio is this:

I will go home. (it is there today).
I will open my Tablet PC. (it is there today).
I will start a game over my wireless network (it is there today).

I will hear the game’s sound over my surround speakers at home wirelessly, either using the media edition PC that is there is the house or any other way, I want wireless sound driver, not streaming :-) (It does not exist today)

G.T. I know I've read that there are people who are actively investigating wireless speaker solutions, so there's no reason to believe that it won't work in the future.

With the new audio stuff in vista, is it possible for the user to push a slider or something that merges all audio channels to one speaker? Occasionally one speaker of my headphones will break and some of the songs I listen to make heavy use of stereo effects and it's kind of annoying.

re: Audio in Vista, the big picture

LarryOsterman — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 08:15:00 GMT

asdf, actually there is. the multimedia control panel applet lets you chose the output format of the speaker. Just chose a mono format and you'll get mono (assuming your audio solution supports mono).

Is the audio a distinct User Mode process, and if so how is the process scheduled vs other processes?
