+// Implementation of AudioInputStream for Windows using Windows Core Audio
+// WASAPI for low latency capturing.
+//
+// Overview of operation:
+//
+// - An object of WASAPIAudioInputStream is created by the AudioManager
+//   factory.
+// - Next some thread will call Open(), at that point the underlying
+//   Core Audio APIs are utilized to create two WASAPI interfaces called
+//   IAudioClient and IAudioCaptureClient.
+// - Then some thread will call Start(sink).
+//   A thread called "wasapi_capture_thread" is started and this thread listens
+//   on an event signal which is set periodically by the audio engine for
+//   each recorded data packets. As a result, data samples will be provided

each recorded data packet.

Done.

+//   to the registered sink.
+// - At some point, a thread will call Stop(), which stops and joins the
+//   capture thread and at the same time stops audio streaming.
+// - The same thread that called stop will call Close() where we cleanup
+//   and notify the audio manager, which likely will destroy this object.
+//
+// Implementation notes:
+//
+// - The minimum supported client is Windows Vista.
+// - Construction and destruction must take place from the same thread.
+//   It is recommended to call all APIs from the same thread as well.

[tommi (sloooow) - chröme, 2011/10/14 14:31:04]

recommended or required?

I guess as long as the calling thread is an MTA thread, things will work
correctly?

[henrika (OOO until Aug 14), 2011/10/17 12:08:24]

Comment is now more clear.

+// - 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
+//   WASAPIAudioInputStream::HardwareSampleRate() to retrieve the sample rate.
+// - Calling Close() also leads to self destruction.

[tommi (sloooow) - chröme, 2011/10/14 14:31:04]

should the initial allocator then not call delete?

[henrika (OOO until Aug 14), 2011/10/17 12:08:24]

The audio manager is the allocator and it deletes this object in Close().

+//
+// 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).

[tommi (sloooow) - chröme, 2011/10/14 14:31:04]

maybe a note that if CoInitializeEx(MTA) fails, then we will check.

[henrika (OOO until Aug 14), 2011/10/17 12:08:24]

Done.

Andrew - what is the convention on namespaces and platform specific classes like
this?  global namespace?
