Using Media Foundation with C# ?

Ooooo please do make plans to provide a .NET managed wrapper to Media Foundation soon thereafter!!!!! That would be most helpful and advantageous!

No, unfortunately we don't have plans to include a managed wrapper for Media Foundation in its v1 (Windows Vista).

IMHO that's very unpleasant. You have not provided managed wrapper for Windows Media Format SDK - OK, I have written one by myself. Windows Media Format SDK has been create long before .NET era. By why the heck you do not give what you already do have? .NET Framework 1.2 (yes, there has been such development version, plz see http://www.winfx247.com/247reference/System/Windows/Media/Core/System.Windows.Media.Core.aspx for example) has all I need to develop managed application that can use Media Foundation to do efficient audio streaming, bypassing DirectSound, which on Vista is merely wrapper over Media Foundation. I still do not get why you play against people developing on YOUR platform. Grrr, I *had* to write it.
