I found a bug in Vista/Win7 audio stack related to capture pin instance counters. My WavePci miniport filter supports multiple pin instances and PortCls correctly reports PossibleCount and CurrentCount in KSPROPERTY_PIN_GLOBALCINSTANCES requests. When there are no active instances (CurrentCount is zero), the capture pin can be successfully instantiated via MME or DirectSound interfaces. If CurrentCount is nonzero (for example, a KS application had previously instantiated this capture pin), Windows audio stack does not try to instantiate capture pin regardless of PossibleCount value. An application receives MMSYSERR_ALLOCATED (MME) or DSERR_ALLOCATED (DirectSound). This bug appears only in Vista/Win7 and only in the recording mode. XP normally opens a pin if there are available instances. In Vista/Win7, there is an unneeded KSPROPERTY_PIN_GLOBALCINSTANCES check. ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.com/
