InputFormatsAvailable
SPECIAL NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: in order to speed up the creation of the form containing the recorder control, we had the need to make a slight modification to the internal architecture of the multimedia engine and of the recorder control. After this modification, the following methods will not be immediately available and your application will have to wait for the new InputFormatsAvailable event before calling them:
- GetWmaEncodingBitratesCount
- GetWmaEncodingBitrate
- GetSupportedRecordFormatsCount
- GetSupportedRecordFormatDesc
- GetWmaEncodingVBRQualitiesCount
- GetWmaEncodingVBRQuality
The usage of the new InputFormatsAvailable event is shown inside the following updated samples:
- SimpleMp3Rec
- SimpleOggRec
- SimpleWavRec
- SimpleWmaRec
If your application shouldn't be using the mentioned methods, there should be nothing to be worried about and you won't have to modify your code.

| • | Recording from an Internet stream (HTTP, FTP or MMS) in various formats (MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC) |
| • | Sound waveform analysis with the possibility to obtain the sound waveform in bitmap form |
| • | Mixing the recording session over a background sound (it could be also a sample in loop mode) |
| • | Support for clipboard import/export |
| • | Availability of a visual sound waveform analyzer that will allow zooming inside the song waveform and selecting a portion for editing features |
| • | Availability of graphic bars for external visual feedback implementation |
| • | Possibility to apply the Automatic Gain Controller to the recording channel |
| • | Uploading the contents of a recording session to a FTP site |
