IOCTL_SBAUD_GET_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR IOCTL

Description

The audio driver issues the IOCTL_SBAUD_GET_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR control code to get information about an Audio endpoint exposed through sideband audio device interface.

Parameters

Major code

IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL

Input buffer

A 0 based endpoint index value based on the number of Audio endpoints as reported by the IOCTL_SBAUD_GET_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR.

This is a ULONG value from 0 to (N-1) where N is the number of Endpoints for the device.

Input buffer length

Size of ULONG.

Output buffer

A buffer containing a SIDEBANDAUDIO_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure followed by any other data referenced by the structure. This is returned, if the output buffer size is sufficient and the request succeeds. In particular, the buffer includes storage for the string referenced by the FriendlyName field of the SIDEBANDAUDIO_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure.

Output buffer length

The size of a SIDEBANDAUDIO_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure and referenced data.

Input/output buffer

Input/output buffer length

Status block

If the routine succeeds, then Status is set to STATUS_SUCCESS and the Information member is the number of bytes that the routine writes to the output buffer.

Note This can be larger than the size of the SIDEBANDAUDIO_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure, as the output buffer may contain other data referenced by the structure

If Status is set to STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, then the audio driver should read the Information member to get the size of the buffer that the caller should allocate for this request.

Remarks

This IOCTL can only be called from kernel mode.

The audio driver sends this request to obtain information about an enabled audio sideband endpoint. The information does not change while the interface is enabled, but can change while the interface is disabled. Therefore the audio driver sends this request shortly after discovering an enabled device interface and uses the information to build an appropriate KSFILTER_DESCRIPTOR structure.

The audio driver sends this request once with an output buffer size of zero (0) in order to determine the required output buffer size. In this case, the request will complete with Status STATUS_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL and set the Information member to the required buffer size. The audio driver then allocates the necessary storage space and sends the request again.
