Dear Eugene,

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

I am trying to modify our driver code according your suggestion to take care
of this behavioral change in Vista.

I just want to know -- is our observation is correct in Vista or I did some
mistake because of that I am getting this ?

[ In Vista, as soon as I call Multimedia API waveInOpen/waveOutOpen from
application the stream/device goes directly into RUN state and it starts
capturing or rendering.
While in XP when I call waveInOpen/waveOutOpen from application the
stream/device does not go directly into RUN state, instead the stream is in
STOP state.
The stream/device goes to RUN state only when application uses waveInStart
or waveOutWrite call. ]

Could anybody please confirm this?

Best regards,
--Chinmay
