5// Implementation of AudioInputStream for Windows using Windows Core Audio
6// WASAPI for low latency capturing.
7//
8// Overview of operation:
9//
10// - An object of WASAPIAudioInputStream is created by the AudioManager
11//   factory.
12// - Next some thread will call Open(), at that point the underlying
13//   Core Audio APIs are utilized to create two WASAPI interfaces called
14//   IAudioClient and IAudioCaptureClient.
15// - Then some thread will call Start(sink).
16//   A thread called "wasapi_capture_thread" is started and this thread listens
17//   on an event signal which is set periodically by the audio engine for
18//   each recorded data packet. As a result, data samples will be provided
19//   to the registered sink.
20// - At some point, a thread will call Stop(), which stops and joins the
21//   capture thread and at the same time stops audio streaming.
22// - The same thread that called stop will call Close() where we cleanup
23//   and notify the audio manager, which likely will destroy this object.
24//
25// Implementation notes:
26//
27// - The minimum supported client is Windows Vista.
28// - This implementation is single-threaded, hence:
29//    o Construction and destruction must take place from the same thread.
30//    o It is recommended to call all APIs from the same thread as well.
31// - It is recommended to first acquire the native sample rate of the default
32//   input device and then use the same rate when creating this object. Use
33//   WASAPIAudioInputStream::HardwareSampleRate() to retrieve the sample rate.
34// - Calling Close() also leads to self destruction.
35//
36// Core Audio API details:
37//
38// - Utilized MMDevice interfaces:
39//     o IMMDeviceEnumerator
40//     o IMMDevice
41// - Utilized WASAPI interfaces:
42//     o IAudioClient
43//     o IAudioCaptureClient
44// - The stream is initialized in shared mode and the processing of the
45//   audio buffer is event driven.
46// - The Multimedia Class Scheduler service (MMCSS) is utilized to boost
47//   the priority of the capture thread.
48// - Audio applications that use the MMDevice API and WASAPI typically use
49//   the ISimpleAudioVolume interface to manage stream volume levels on a
50//   per-session basis. It is also possible to use of the IAudioEndpointVolume
51//   interface to control the master volume level of an audio endpoint device.
52//   This implementation is using the ISimpleAudioVolume interface.
53//   MSDN states that "In rare cases, a specialized audio application might
54//   require the use of the IAudioEndpointVolume".
