IMultiMediaStream Interface
This interface provides methods that control a multimedia stream and provide access to its underlying media streams. A multimedia stream is the highest-level streaming object and can contain one or more media streams. While each media stream is media-type specific (audio, video, and so on), multimedia streams are generic across all types because they must provide access to a number of streams that can have different media types. IMultiMediaStream interface methods enable you to enumerate and retrieve pointers to the specific streams; IMediaStream interface methods provide specific control over the media stream behavior.
Implement this interface when you want to create containers for a specific type of media stream.
Use this interface when your application must enumerate and control a multimedia stream's underlying, type-specific streams.
