MediaStreamSource in WPF

Question

Hi.

I need to play a custom audio stream in WPF. I can deal with the mp3/wmv restrictions.

The MediaStreamSource class seems ideal, but all the examples I have seen are Silverlight 3.

Is there a WPF equivalent?

Thanks

Pete

Answer 1

There is no equivalent of MediaStreamSource in WPF.

When you say you want to play a custom audio stream, what do you mean? Do you need to add post processing on the audio? Is it a custom file-type?

Can MediaElement/MediaPlayer WPF classes do the job?

Answer 2

You can use NAudio to play custom audio streams in WPF. It can make use of any ACM codecs installed, or you can write your own in managed code.
