Sure, you can do that, but at that point you're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway. If you have control of the player, you don't need detours at all; you can just read the data directly from the source.

All I did was to detour GetBuffer() and ReleaseBuffer() calls and dump audio data in a file. I have tested it out and it seem to be working fine. I was wondering how this POC will behave with protected content (HBR audio data usually available with BDs). Will it be able to capture protected data? I have no intention of capturing protected content. It's just that I don't see anything preventing someone from ripping protected audio content using MS detours and was wondering if Microsoft puts in some sort of checks to prevent it. (e.g. restriction on protected audio playback if detour.dll is loaded in process). Thanks and regards, Ambrish
