Remarks

When the DVD Navigator enters karaoke mode, it queries the audio decoder to discover whether it supports karaoke downmixing. If the decoder supports it, then channels 2 through 4 (the karaoke auxiliary channels with the guide vocals, guide melodies, and sound effects) are muted. Use this method to turn individual channels on or off and direct them to channels 0 and 1.

This method is demonstrated in the DVDSample application in CKaraokeDlg::DoModal.
