Hi, I've this code: InputStream is = socket.getInputStream(); int b; while ((b = is.read()) != -1) { System.out.println(b); } A byte its range is -128 until +127. But one of the printed bytes is 210.

I am just curious to know what happens behind the scene to convert a double to int, say int(5666.1) ? Is that going to be more expensive than a static_cast of a child class to parent?

I want to transcode a lot of audio from its source format to PCM without resampling or messing with the sample size. I figure if Windows Media Player can play the file and it doesn't use a legacy ACM codecs it must be using DirectSound to do so (this is on Windows XP and Windows Server 2k3). So is it possible to access DirectSound from C...
