PCM Multichannel Stream Data Format

This example uses an extended version of a KSDATAFORMAT_WAVEFORMATEX structure to describe the data format of a PCM multichannel stream.

  DataFormat.FormatSize  = sizeof(KSDATAFORMAT) + sizeof(WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE);
  DataFormat.Flags       = 0;
  DataFormat.SampleSize  = 0;
  DataFormat.Reserved    = 0;
  DataFormat.MajorFormat = STATICGUIDOF(KSDATAFORMAT_TYPE_AUDIO);
  DataFormat.SubFormat   = STATICGUIDOF(KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM);
  DataFormat.Specifier   = STATICGUIDOF(KSDATAFORMAT_SPECIFIER_WAVEFORMATEX);
  Format.wFormatTag      = WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE;
  Format.nChannels       = 4;
  Format.nSamplesPerSec  = 44100;
  Format.nAvgBytesPerSec = 352800;
  Format.nBlockAlign     = 8;
  Format.wBitsPerSample  = 16;
  Format.cbSize          = sizeof(WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE) - sizeof(WAVEFORMATEX);
  Format.wValidBitsPerSample = 16;
  Format.dwChannelMask   = KSAUDIO_SPEAKER_SURROUND;
  Format.SubFormat       = KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_PCM;
