<concept id="GUID-22446D23-3CF7-5E1B-B479-4DCA6B6A3DA9-GENID-1-8-1-18-1-1-4-1-11-1" xml:lang="en"><title>MmfExSinkSource:

Multimedia Framework sink/source plug-ins example</title><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section><title>Description</title> <p> <filepath>MmfExSinkSource</filepath> demonstrates

how to implement sink and source plug-ins for the Multimedia Framework. A

sink is an object that can receive multimedia data; a source is an object

that can supply it. This example implements a sink and a source as descriptor

objects. </p> <p>Both the sink and source are implemented in a single class, <codeph>CMMFExDescriptor</codeph>,

that derives from <codeph>CMMFClip</codeph>. <codeph>CMMFClip</codeph> represents

a multimedia clip (i.e. not a stream or hardware device), which, in turn,

derives from the ECom sink interface <codeph>MDataSink</codeph>, and the source

interface <codeph>MDataSource</codeph>. </p> <p>Both the example source and

sink are passed on creation a packaged <codeph>TMMFExDescriptorParams</codeph> object,

which specifies the descriptor to read/write, and the thread to which the

descriptor belongs. </p> <p>Note that the default audio controller only uses

the default sink/sources, and returns "not supported" if you attempt to use

other sink/sources with it. </p> </section>
