Multichannel WAVE Files

2 channels of WAVE recording and 8 channels of multichannel WAVE playback are
supported. The WAVE channels are available for the following types of WDM devices:
• Classic MME
• DirectSound
• Direct WDM / Kernel Streaming (KS)
DirectSound and the WDM/KS interfaces allow up to Eight channels of Wave Out
while the classic MME interface only exposes 2 channels.
The WAVE channels operate at all sample rates. For additional information about WDM
behavior at high sample rates, see
192kHz/96kHz DVD-Audio disks are protected against digital copying. However, most
DVD-Audio disks contain duplicate 48kHz audio tracks which will play back on the
Digital Audio System.

DVD player applications.
Eight channel WAVE playback supports 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 surround audio.
