IWMWriterFileSink3::GetAutoIndexing method

The GetAutoIndexing method retrieves the current state of automatic indexing for the file.

The writer object creates a time-based index for all new files by default. If you generate an ASF file using bit-rate mutual exclusion for audio content (multiple bit-rate audio), the resulting indexed file will not work with Windows Media Services version 4.1. If you want to stream your file using Windows Media Services 4.1, you must make sure that automatic indexing has been disabled before writing the file.
