How to register product IDs and Audio FormatTags with Microsoft?



Hello List,

I've recently completed work on a Windows ACM driver (audio codec) for a
client and I now need to register some IDs with Microsoft. Specifically, I
need to register 2 new Product IDs and 2 new FormatTag IDs.

I used the Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK) to do the development and in
the template code from which I built my driver, I see the following:

// the manufacturer id (wMid) and product id (wPid) must be filled

// in with your company's _registered_ identifier's. for more

// information on these identifier's and how to get them registered

// contact Microsoft and get the Multimedia Developer Registration Kit:

//

// Microsoft Corporation

// Multimedia Technology Group

// One Microsoft Way

// Redmond, WA 98052-6399

//

// Developer Services Phone: (800) 227-4679 x11771

This seems OK except that I can't call a US toll-free number from my
European location. Can anyone help me with a number to call and/or email
address?

Also, I need to define 2 new audio file formats - if I use
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE and generate my own GUIDs, how do I let Microsoft know
these data or do I need to care?

Thanks in advance,

Culann.
