[ltp] how to play drm WMAs (on my thinkpad)

[Nathan Smith]

This is possible. Someone I know very well has done it. They used Visual 
Studio and embedded a MS media player object into the program. They had 
in interface that mimicked a regular player, but when it was playing, 
the program automatically recorded the wave-out sounds and output to a 
wave file and matched filenames. Now the problem with that is any sound 
goes to wave-out, so this is not robust enough.

If anyone has any ideas for capturing digital audio streams in Windows, 
my friend would love to hear from you.
