Re: what does acmStreamSize do?

In any case, make sure to handle "zero return" properly. A codec may not
have enough input data to produce any of output data. In that case, the data
will be consumed, but none returned. Another case, but less likely, is that
the data will be produced from whatever was buffered, but none consumed.
Some programs (including Microsoft ACM sample) don't deal with it correctly.
They consider it end of stream.
