New Post: How to play an a-law-encoded network stream

Hi Mark,

inspired by the network streaming demo (NetworkChatPanel.cs) I simplified the code like this:

BufferedWaveProvider myBufferedWaveProvider = new BufferedWaveProvider(WaveFormat.CreateALawFormat(8000, 1));
WaveOut myWaveOut = new WaveOut();
myWaveOut.Init(myBufferedWaveProvider);
myWaveOut.Play();

Now an MMException (WaveBadFormat calling waveOutOpen) is thrown in myWaveOut.Init(). I'm wondering about the WaveBadFormat, because at this time the buffer does contain no samples at all.

Any idea?
