DirectX and WindowsNT Issues:
-----------------------------
STK is currently distributed with Visual C++ .NET project and workspace files. It no longer compiles with Visual C++ 6.0. I gave up attempting to fix all the problems created by such a bad compiler. This version of STK has been tested using Visual C++ .NET.
STK is currently distributed with Visual C++ .NET project and workspace files. It no longer compiles with Visual C++ 6.0. I gave up attempting to fix all the problems created by such a bad compiler. This version of STK has been tested using Visual C++ .NET. As well, the configure script now supprots MinGW.
IMPORTANT VC++ NOTE: When compiling "release" versions of STK programs, link to the release multithreaded library. When compiling "debug" versions, link to the debug multithreaded library. Compiler errors will result otherwise. Also, the Microsoft folk are up to their old habits of trying to change standards. The .NET compiler will complain about cerr for some reason.
Both the DirectSound and Steinberg ASIO audio APIs are supported for realtime audio input/output. The Visual C++ project files included with this distribution are configured to use the DirectSound API. In order to use the ASIO API, it is necessary to change the preprocessor definition from __WINDOWS_DS__ to __WINDOWS_ASIO__, as well as include all the files in the /src/asio/ directory (i.e. asio.h, asio.cpp, ...). If you have a good quality soundcard and a native ASIO driver (not emulated), you are likely to get much better input/output response using that.

When using the DirectSound API for audio input, latency is typically pretty horrendous (should we be surprised?). Also, there is a slight chance you don't have DirectSoundCapture support on your computer. If not, you should download the DirectX 6.0 (or higher) runtime libraries from Microsoft's WWW site (http://www.microsoft.com/directx/download.asp) in order to run the pre-compiled STK executables for Windoze. The last time I checked, there was no DirectSoundCapture support for WindowsNT ... you'll have to switch to Windows 2000 or XP or use an ASIO driver. I stopped supporting the WinMM audio output code with release 3.2.
