SGGetChannelUsage
The SGGetChannelUsage function allows you to determine how a channel is to be used by the sequence grabber component.
pascal ComponentResult SGGetChannelUsage (SGChannel c,
                                          long *usage);
c
Specifies the reference that identifies the channel for this operation. You obtain this reference from the SGNewChannel function, described on page 5-29.

seqGrabPlayDuringRecord
Indicates that the sequence grabber component plays the data captured by this channel during a record operation.
