Recording a phone call

[Suzanne]

Hi,

I am a newbie and am wondering if anyone tried programatically recording a
phone call on an MS Smarphone based phone. Its part of my university project
and very important for me I have been through the documentation and it seems
to say that MIXERLINE_COMPONENTTYPE_SRC_TELEPHONE constant can be used to
record incoming audio during a call. Has anyone tried this? I have heard
someone say that the SPVs don't support it. Adding to that MS support replied
that its due to a hardware issue faced by HTC (the manufacturer). Also even
if its possible to record on a Pocket PC please do let me know. The O2 XDA
help and faqs claim that you can record a call, but am not sure if its true.
I tried but failed to record on an XDAII! The Hitachi G1000 seems to support
recording but its a CDMA phone and I need a GSM!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't possible. The hardware doesn't route the audio from the GSM side
to the CE side. It just goes straight to the headset/earpiece.

I have been able to record the incoming audio of a call on a Motorolla i600
MS smartphone using the waveOut libraries. I had to put it in headset mode
with headset inserted into 2.5mm jack, to enable the halfduplex cross talk
nature of the audio paths in the phone which then allowed incomming audio to
be recorded. This is needed because with out it the waveOut only records
the audio that you speak into the phone, not what the person on the other
end of the call is saying.

If anyone knows how to play a wav file from the application porcess space to
the audio out of a phone call, please let me know. The cross talk method I
have described does not work for this.
