The audio mixer architecture in Microsoft Windows is one of the most flexible components of the multimedia system, and frankly one of the most difficult to program.

The MSSMixer control is layered on top of the Windows Mixer API to make the programming of the mixer, and applications that manipulate the mixer, much easier. In particular, it gives the application programmer:

· A hierarchical structure of mixers, audio destinations, audio sources and controls  
· Easy-to-use properties and methods to allow all the elements of a mixer to be interrogated, analysed and modified  
· A special interface to allow easy setting of the most commonly-used controls - volumes, mute switches, and selector switches  
· The ability to save and restore the state (i.e. the control settings) of all or part of a mixer quickly and easily.
