Windows Mobile Audio Player

I am trying to develop a specialized audio player for Windows mobile devices (Professional). And I ran into a problem once.

No compressed audio API on WM or I could not find the house in the documentation. Yes, there is a WM6 Sound API, but it can’t even pause playback or go to the specified position. There is Windows Media Player around the world, but I have not found its API documentation.

So the question is:
Is there an easy way to play, pause, fast forward, rewind, get the playback position and get the length of the audio file on compressed audio of several popular formats? Any library? Platform API? Anything?

I found a fairly complete library for playing compressed audio FMOD . There is a version of WM. And I found a sample application on CodeProject to get started.

It may not be useful at all, but the (very good) BeyondPod podcast has a built-in player based on Windows Media Player as well as open source so you can see which API they use.

Obviously, if they wrote their own custom player, you cannot just copy it if you are writing a commercial application. But you can use it for API documentation if they just access some Media Player API.
