Software Development with DirectX 10

I wish to develop a audio software (like winamp, jet-audio etc) using Direct X 10. Dear experts, what do you suggest about this ? Should or should not I go with is ? Please tell in detail regarding your suggestion.

Thanks

There is no new sound functionality in DirectX 10. While there is a new sound API for Windows Vista, the "Core Audio APIs", you'll almost certainly be better off either using the traditional Windows multimedia API or DirectSound so your application can work all versions of Windows.

Ross,

Thanks for your answer.

But if I use traditional API, then will it be compatible in Vista ?

Also, if I use Vista "Core Audio APIs" will it be compatible with other versions for windows? Can you please provide me some useful link about vista "Core Audio APIs" ?

Thanks

Windows Vista supports both the traditional Windows multimedia APIs and DirectSound. Only Windows Vista supports the new Core Audio APIs, so if your application only uses those APIs for sound, it will only work on Vista. You can find documentation for the Core Audio APIs in the Windows SDK for Vista documentation.

Moving thread to the "General" forum, as this thread is unrelated to Direct3D 10.

Thanks Ross.

One more query. As I am planning to make the software for vista, I would prefer to use "Windows Vista Core Audio API" or "Windows Media Foundation". But if any xp or Windows server 2003 user wants to evaluate my software, what should he need to install?

Thanks again.
