Lynx Mixer Reference
1$ Play Sample Format
This status indicator represents the sample format of a play device. The format, which is set by an
application accessing the device, determines the format of the data sent from the host computer to the play
device. The sample format indicates bit depth and mono or stereo mode. In the case of 32 bit formats, the
lower eight bits are set to zero.
1% Play Device Label / Status Indicator
This label specifies a play device number associated with the Play Dropout and Play Sample Format
indicators described above. When an application is accessing a play device, the color of this label turns red
to indicate the device is in play mode. Observing this indicator can be very useful while debugging
communication problems with third party applications.
Please note play device information is unrelated to the record device controls contained in the same
vertical panel on the Record/Play Window. The location of this information was chosen in order to provide
a compact view of record and play device status.
