End Function

Notes:

When recording waveform audio, usually buffers are allocated with unmanaged functions and kept in an IntPtr() array; for this reason the function is provided in two versions, one processing a WAVEHDR ByRef and the other working with an IntPtr.

Tips & Tricks:

Instead of allocating memory using an unmanaged function, it is possible to lock the WAVEHDR and Buffer in place using GCHandle.Allocate(object, GCHandleType.Pinned);
