Remarks
The BASS_SAMPLE_SOFTWARE flag indicates whether or not the channel's sample data is being mixed into the final output by the hardware. It does not indicate (in the case of a stream or MOD music) whether the processing required to generate the sample data is being done by the hardware, this processing is always done in software by BASS, a CODEC (WAV file stream), or a user defined function (user stream).
