im working on an application to stream whatever the user is hearing to my server, which is then routed to the call they're in, its kind of like screen recording but only for audio

im not talking about microphone recording, im talking about recording the sounds applications make, preferably it should be possible to filter applications to eliminate echoing

do you think it's possible without hacky things like virtual mics? thanks for all the help! and im all new to wasapi though i've been meaning to get into windows development for a while!

    If I adapt the MS code from Capturing a Stream
    by using : 

    hr = pEnumerator->GetDefaultAudioEndpoint(		  
	  	eRender, eConsole, &pDevice);

    I capture all output audio (like MP3, Youtube videos, etc...)
