I realize this is a bit off topic, but maybe someone on this list knows.
I want to write a voice over IP application with Win32::Gui
The only problem is accessing the microphone under windows.
under UNIX-type operating systems is as easy as open(MIC,
"</dev/microphone") but there is no such equivalent under Windows.
I reckon a very simple app can be made to open the mic and print to STDOUT,
that way I can do something like open(MIC, "mic.exe|") or such.
After some initial research, it seems this is easy enough to accomplish with
the Windows API although I am in no way familiar with windows programming.
I've also looked into MCI commands, which don't seem to far abstracted from
the system to be able to pipe microphone data to STDOUT
