Thanks for the answer, Rob.
Yes, that's a kind of solution, but:
virtual audio cable is a playback device also. I would not like to confuse user
- I want a microphone device only.
I'm now looking forward to modify msvad CopyFrom function, but I'm a bit
scared. So many questions on this topic are on the web
and it looks like nobody has succeeded in. I would appreciate if someone could
provide me with their modifications of msvad.
Don't be scared, get readin' ;) The WDK docs that is. I'm afraid I can't share
any code with you, both because it really belongs
to a client and also because it nowhere near does what you need, but in short
you need to:
1. Modify the wavtable.h nodes to have only a KSNODETYPE_ADC
2. Modify mintopo.cpp so that:
PHYSICALCONNECTIONTABLE TopologyPhysicalConnections =
{
ULONG(-1), // KSPIN_TOPO_WAVEOUT_SOURCE, TopologyIn
KSPIN_TOPO_WAVEIN_DEST, // TopologyOut
KSPIN_WAVE_CAPTURE_SOURCE, // WaveIn
ULONG(-1), // KSPIN_WAVE_RENDER_SOURCE WaveOut
};
That _should_ take care of the rendering pin of the VAD (so it won't appear in
sound control panel, right Tim ? )
3. Modify toptable.h to only have the nodes that you really need, f.i. you can
remove all nodes in there that has anything
to do with rendering audio. Be careful though that the nodes that you keep are
"connected" (in the MiniportConnections)
4. As you've also gathered, implement the
CMiniportWaveCyclicStreamMSVAD::CopyFrom method to read from a file. You might
be
able to use libsndfile to do the actual reading. How you supply the path of the
file to read is up to you, might be in the registry,
or another setting file. Also, pay attention to the format so that you write
correctly into the supplied buffer (i.e. interleaved
data with correct no of bits)
MSVAD has an implementation to get a timer IRQ every 10 ms wherein it will
update the DMA position. This incrementing of the DMA position (and notifying
PortCls) will induce calls to CopyFrom to get the data.
Plus: And this is really, REALLY important. Once you've decided to take the red
pill, setup a virtual machine with VirtualBox and use
VirtualKD (http://virtualkd.sysprogs.org/) + Visual Studio to setup a debugging
environment for your driver. It will save you a LOT of headaches, not to
mention blown-up heads ;)
I'm scared, my head is goind to blow up..
I know. Been there, done that. Was really a mess to clean it up ;)
