wav_out.dll-->???-->sound card ???
 

I'm curious - how does wav_out.dll or the Windows multimedia wav device procduce the analog signal out of the sound card? What sort of input does the sound card take? What's in a .wav file?

You can e-mail me if the explanation is too long (moderators only).

Thanks.
Steve :D

Thanks for the pointer. There is also a good article on how MP3 works with links at the end that I found there - Howstuffworks.com > MP3
