 // Implementation of AudioOutputStream for Windows using Windows Core Audio
 // WASAPI for low latency rendering.
 //
 // Overview of operation and performance:
 //
 // - An object of WASAPIAudioOutputStream is created by the AudioManager
@@ skipping 54 matching lines @@
 // - It is recommended to first acquire the native sample rate of the default
 //   input device and then use the same rate when creating this object. Use
 //   WASAPIAudioOutputStream::HardwareSampleRate() to retrieve the sample rate.
 // - Calling Close() also leads to self destruction.
 // - Stream switching is not supported if the user shifts the audio device
 //   after Open() is called but before Start() has been called.
 // - Stream switching can fail if streaming starts on one device with a
 //   supported format (X) and the new default device - to which we would like
 //   to switch - uses another format (Y), which is not supported given the
 //   configured audio parameters.
+// - The audio device is always opened with the same number of channels as
+//   it supports natively (see HardwareChannelCount()). Channel up-mixing will
+//   take place if the |params| parameter in the constructor contains a lower
+//   number of channels than the number of native channels. As an example: if
+//   the clients provides a channel count of 2 and a 7.1 headset is detected,
+//   then 2 -> 7.1 up-mixing will take place for each OnMoreData() callback.

what about opening up 8 channels when HardwareChannelCount() is 2?

I don't think we need to fix it now but I would mention what clients should
expect (error? downmixing?)

Added comment about that we don't support it.

Also, ensured that we can create an object for this case, log that we are in a
"bad state" and then any call to Open() will return false.

Also added a test case to verify that we are unable to call Open() for 2->8.

 // Core Audio API details:
 //
 // - CoInitializeEx() is called on the creating thread and on the internal
 //   capture thread. Each thread's concurrency model and apartment is set
 //   to multi-threaded (MTA). CHECK() is called to ensure that we crash if
 //   CoInitializeEx(MTA) fails.
 // - The public API methods (Open(), Start(), Stop() and Close()) must be
 //   called on constructing thread. The reason is that we want to ensure that
 //   the COM environment is the same for all API implementations.

 // - Audio rendering is performed on the audio render thread, owned by this
 //   class, and the AudioSourceCallback::OnMoreData() method will be called
 //   from this thread. Stream switching also takes place on the audio-render
 //   thread.
 // - All callback methods from the IMMNotificationClient interface will be
 //   called on a Windows-internal MMDevice thread.
 //
 // Experimental exclusive mode:
 //
 // - It is possible to open up a stream in exclusive mode by using the
-//   --enable-exclusive-mode command line flag.
+//   --enable-exclusive-audio command line flag.
 // - The internal buffering scheme is less flexible for exclusive streams.
 //   Hence, some manual tuning will be required before deciding what frame
 //   size to use. See the WinAudioOutputTest unit test for more details.
 // - If an application opens a stream in exclusive mode, the application has
 //   exclusive use of the audio endpoint device that plays the stream.
 // - Exclusive-mode should only be utilized when the lowest possible latency
 //   is important.
 // - In exclusive mode, the client can choose to open the stream in any audio
 //   format that the endpoint device supports, i.e. not limited to the device's
 //   current (default) configuration.
 // - Initial measurements on Windows 7 (HP Z600 workstation) have shown that
 //   the lowest possible latencies we can achieve on this machine are:
 //     o ~3.3333ms @ 48kHz <=> 160 audio frames per buffer.
 //     o ~3.6281ms @ 44.1kHz <=> 160 audio frames per buffer.

AFAIK you don't need to fwd decl this for FRIEND_TEST

Correct. Thanks ;-)
