Creating media visualization in Silverlight

Question

I'd like to create to some custom visualization effects to a sound wave in Silverlight. As of Silverlight 3 there's the MediaElement class which does a great job in playing sounds/videos.

To visualize however I would need some kind of event callback with some information on the currently played segment of the sound. Does the framework have some support for achieving this?

I wanted the same so I've created exactly that. You can see a live demo at http://prefix.teddywino.com/post/SilverlightMediaKitLiveDemo.aspx

The library and demo source code are available at http://salusemediakit.codeplex.com/ The demo shows the added feature to alter the raw audio data to create effects. Currently works only with MP3s and is still under development
