IKsFormatSupport::GetDevicePreferredFormat
The GetDevicePreferredFormat method gets the preferred audio stream format for the connection.
HRESULT GetDevicePreferredFormat( PKSDATAFORMAT *ppKsFormat );
Parameters
ppKsFormat
[out] Pointer to a pointer variable into which the method writes the address of a buffer that contains the format specifier for the preferred format. The specifier begins with a KSDATAFORMAT structure that might be followed by additional format information. The method allocates the storage for the format specifier. The caller is responsible for freeing the storage, when it is no longer needed, by calling the CoTaskMemFree function. If the method fails, *ppKsFormat is NULL. For more information about KSDATAFORMAT, format specifiers, and CoTaskMemFree, see the Windows DDK documentation.

| Return code | Description |
| E_POINTER | Pointer ppKsFormat is NULL. |
