Software component which decompresses audio. It must be designed to work with ACM or DirectShow. Note that different compression methods require different decompressors. There is no universal decompressor capable of decoding all compressed streams.

When "getting" a BSTR property, the memory containing the string is allocated with SysAllocString. When this string is no longer needed, free this memory by calling SysFreeString if you are working in an environment such as C or C++ that does not automatically delete the memory.
