Ok, I stand corrected. I just checked again and
CWaveStreamMiniport::GetAllocatorFraming *is* being called by the port
driver under Windows XP SP2 and it does control the buffer size... Looks
like it doesn't get called under Windows 2000 SP4.
Can anyone fill me in on when this functionality changed?
Thank you,
David
Hello and Thank you for your quick response...
I have a CWaveStreamMiniport::GetAllocatorFraming which only ever gets called by SONAR when running in WDM/KS mode. It never gets called by the Port class driver.
Are you saying that the Port class driver does an IOCTL_KS_PROPERTY / KSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING and this never translates to the Miniport::GetAllocatorFraming call? Doesn't this seem like a serious omission?
Martin Puryear (or anyone else from Microsoft), do you have any comments on this?
Thank you,
David

Hello ,David
You can hook IOCTL_KS_PROPERTY in the Dispatch routine and look for the GET request for the KSPROPERTY_CONNECTION_ALLOCATORFRAMING property of KSPROPSETID_Connection propery set. In this request you can modify number of buffers and their sizes (after it has been processed by lower drivers).
I know, this is bad way, but it helped me when I had problems with sound recording in MsVad.
