| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| settings | Optional parameter. Initial settings for the dialog. |
Returns
The function returns a platform-specific configuration data. On Mac, the output is an XML block such as:
<recording-configuration>
<input-device-id>AppleHDAEngineInput:1F,3,0,1,0:1</input-device-id>
<input-device-name>Built-in Microphone</input-device-name>
<file-format-id>6d346166</file-format-id>
<audio-compression-id>616c6163</audio-compression-id>
<sample-rate>44100</sample-rate>
<sample-size>16</sample-size>
<number-of-channels>2</number-of-channels>
</recording-configuration>
On Windows the output is also an XML block with hexadecimal data.
Though it is possible to change either of the blocks, changing them is not recommended and could result in unpredictable behavior.
