OK that makes sense, but then again: The following line:
waveInThread := CreateThread(0, 0, @waveInProc, 0, 0, @threadID);

gives me the compiler error:
Incompatible type for arg no. 6: Got VOID_POINTER, expected ULONG

whereas the line:
waveInThread := CreateThread(0, 0, @waveInProc, 0, 0, threadID);
compiles with no errors.

??
(threadID is declared as cardinal)
