Capture audio to WAV file

[Bob]

I'd like to find samples of code for capturing audio (from mic or
input channel) to a .WAV file.

It would be a plus to find this in C#, using the DirectShow.net lib.

Anything?

DirectShow doesn't come with a filter to write WAV files (AFAIK) but there
is a sample filter that does:

Thanks, Mark. I checked the WaveDest filter (compiled from the latest
Windows SDK), and I can get it to work. But it's extremely touchy.
When test-patching things in GraphEdt, it will initially connect, but
if the pins are disconnected, it cannot be reconnected. It gives a
message about no compatible formats. I have to delete the WaveDest
filter and reload it. Then it's good for one more connect. Strange,
eh?

It also seems to interfere with connection of other filters in a
chain, causing them to issue the same type of message. When WaveDest
is removed, the other filters hook up fine.

Seems like I'd have to account for the strange behavior if I use it in
an app. And it's tough to say what's causing the quirks.

I was hoping that there was something built in, but if not, is there a
way to solve the problem with WaveDest?
