What audio codexes are installed?

Does anybody know how to find out what audio codex's are installed on a
particular machine? I assume WAV and probably MP3, but what about OGG? I
want to be able to fill in the Filter property for the TFileOpen dialog with
all supported files that are actually supported in that computer.

Any help, comments, queries, posers, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.

look at the Mulitmedia help for the acm functions.
 you need things like acmDriverEnum, acmDriverOpen , acmFilterEnum
etc...

look in the Windows Multimedia programmers reference, for the  acmXXXXX
api.....
ACM stands for Adaptive Compression Manager. If memory serves me
correctly..the function you're looking for is called

acmFilterEnum()..

You'll have to write a callback function that the system can callback to
pass information about each file format filter it finds installed. There's
also:

acmDriverEnum()

which actually enumerates the drivers themselves, but I think you're looking
for the functionality of the first one.

Enjoy
