I have a .NET CF library that produces PCM formatted data stream (as Stream object) from an MP3 file. I want to make my Windows Mobile phone to play the podcast I decode with that library. How can I play the PCM stream? I have tried PlaySound pinvoke stuff but does not work. It expects the entire song to be in memory as a WAVE file, which is not that good since just the compressed podcast is 30MB.

I was thinking of slicing the stream to chunks and appending the WAVE header to each chunk and playing one chunk after the other. But I did not succeed with that yet.

    If you have .NET 3.5 then you could use the SoundPlayer component.

    From the MSDN:

    The SoundPlayer class provides a
    simple interface for loading and
    playing a .wav file. The SoundPlayer
    class supports loading a .wav file
    from a file path, a URL, a Stream that
    contains a .wav file, or an embedded
    resource that contains a .wav file.
