midiStreamOut

The midiStreamOut function plays or queues a stream (buffer) of MIDI data to a MIDI output device.

MMRESULT midiStreamOut(

HMIDISTRM hMidiStream,
LPMIDIHDR lpMidiHdr,
UINT cbMidiHdr
);

Parameters

hMidiStream

Handle of a MIDI stream. This handle must have been returned by a call to the midiStreamOpen function. This handle identifies the output device.

lpMidiHdr

Address of a MIDIHDR structure that identifies the MIDI buffer.

cbMidiHdr

Size, in bytes, of the MIDIHDR structure.

Return Values

Returns MMSYSERR_NOERROR if successful or an error otherwise. Possible error values include the following:

MMSYSERR_NOMEM	The system is unable to allocate or lock memory.
MIDIERR_STILLPLAYING	The output buffer pointed to by lpMidiHdr is still playing or is queued from a previous call to midiStreamOut.
MIDIERR_UNPREPARED	The header pointed to by lpMidiHdr has not been prepared.
MMSYSERR_INVALHANDLE	The specified device handle is invalid.
MMSYSERR_INVALPARAM	The pointer specified by lpMidiHdr is invalid.

Remarks

Because the midiStreamOpen function opens the output device in paused mode, you must call the midiStreamRestart function before you can use midiStreamOut to start the playback.

For the current implementation of this function, the buffer must be smaller than 64K.

The buffer pointed to by the MIDIHDR structure contains one or more MIDI events, each of which is defined by a MIDIEVENT structure.
