Does anyone know the whereabouts of a vb sample of how you can use direct sound or direct show so that I can play all the soundfiles that media player can play (including compressed ones/mp3s) without creating a huge buffer - so that it streams it straight from the hard drive.
I also need to be able to control & read its position.
Can anyone help - I need it urgently.
Ps. I've tried the Microsoft site and it was no use & downloaded the sdk also.

The SDK examples all use buffering, and as far as I can see all the Play commands accept a sound buffer as an argument, so I don't think you can. Of course, you could hard-code the playing 
good luck.
