I/O Procedure Architecture

The MMIO subsystem of OS/2 multimedia isolates applications, media control drivers, and stream handlers from data-specific processing in the same way that the media control interface buffers applications from device-specific processing. Applications send MMIO functions through the MMIO Manager, which uses I/O procedures (IOProcs) to manipulate specific types of multimedia data. The following figure illustrates the procedures available with the installation of OS/2 multimedia. *
