The Cendio binaries are ancient. They are from time when there was no "card" concept in pulseaudio, and therefore pa_context_get_card_info_list() is not supported. I don't know if there are Windows binaries around for newer pulseaudio versions (compiling from source should work, but I don't know the details of setting up the build environment on Windows). -- Tanu
