Sorry Bruce,

        The question and answer of your FAQ that I wamt
some light on is:

2. Can I use MCI (the Multimedia Control Interface) to
play or record wave files?

No. MCI was considered as a means of playing and recording
audio files when TAPI was first released by Microsoft. In
fact some of the first TAPI applications and TSP's that
supported audio did in fact use MCI. However it quickly
became apparent that MCI did not provide the level of
control nor the flexibility required by most TAPI voice
applications. MCI was quickly dropped in favor of the low
level multimedia (wave) API.

        Thanks.
