IAsyncReader Interface (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
This interface allows multiple overlapped reads from different positions in the media stream. This interface is supported by source filters.
Note that during connection an output pin supporting the IAsyncReader should check whether its QueryInterface method is called asking for the IAsyncReader interface. If it is not, then the output pin should fail the connect unless it establishes some other transport to use during the connection.
When to Implement
Implement this interface on a pin if your filter reads data of media type MEDIATYPE_Stream from some source.
When to Use
A parser, such as a WAVE parser filter, can use this interface to read from a filter that reads from a file, the network, or memory.
