Preparing Audio Data Blocks

Before you pass an audio data block to a device driver, you must prepare the data block by passing it to a header-preparation function. When the device driver is finished with the data block and returns it, you must clean up this preparation by passing the data block to a header clean-up function before any allocated memory can be freed.

Windows provides the following functions for preparing and cleaning up audio data blocks.
