Remarks
Sets the recording mode which will determine where incoming sound data will be stored inside a new recording session.
It's important to remember that recording sessions whose recording mode is set to a value different from REC_MODE_NEW must be always of the same nature, i.e. with output to memory or with output to file: trying to mix memory based sessions with file based session will cause an error.
For further details see the How to perform a recording session section.
