The channel handle.

Remarks
Only available when streaming a file using a Media Foundation codec (available on Windows7 and updated Vista only) or a WAVE file.

When a Media Foundation codec is in use, the WAVEFORMATEXT structure's wFormatTag member can be used to find out what the source format is. Some typical wFormatTag examples are: 0x0161 = WMA, 0x0162 = WMA_PRO, 0x0163 = WMA_LOSSLESS, 0x1610 = MPEG_HEAAC.

In addition you might also use the BassTags class, which provides extended TAG reading support.
