Can I use all the Windows WAVE record and playing APIs using just a simple non-windows console?
I have a project coming up that needs do the following:
1. Receive audio input from the mic/input device.
2. Packetize it.
3. Send it to a receiving client through unicast UDP.
4. Play the audio.
5. Repeat from 1.
Ideally this will be a 2 way application.
My question is, I am not familiar enough with the Windows framework to program it using all the winmain stuff yet. So I am not sure if I can do what I want just through a main() application. It looks as though alot of the stuff might require handlers and such and I want to avoid this if possible since I don't need any GUI, just a command prompt.
Can you please verify if I can or cannot do this?
I am marking this as fairly urgent b/c I would like to know if I should abandon this project or not.
Thank you!
