Recording Default Audio Output

Does anyone know of a PureBasic way to tap into the audio stream that is going to the default output device? I want to record this stream.
Suppose I have an application (web browser) that is playing back to the default audio output device. That is the audio stream I want to record. There is a way to do this using a program called Virtual Audio Cable, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

I don't think there is a way. With Windows 7 / 8 Microsoft and associated parties seem to remove anything that would allow recording windows audio output. I assume pressure from parties such as Google (YouTube) might be the major reason, as there is little technical reason to actively strip out features.
Off topic: one approach would be to use a 'virtual audio card'. If someone knows a good solution feel free to tell me, as I have some need for audio recording myself...

A general statement like this is not quite true.
I just tested it, using
FastStone Capture 8.0 (Shareware).
Works fine e.g. with
this video, with Firefox on Windows 7 x64. All visual and acoustic output is captured.
However, unfortunately I also don't know how to capure audio output with our own programs.

Sure it's possible :
- Set your Windows mixer - recording devices to "Stereo mix" (some drivers call this : "record what you hear")
- Take the windows recorder and push...."Record"
- You can make an MME/DirectX program or use my ASIO code

...further and fwiw
The application, Audacity, can do this and is open source and cross platform.
I just confirmed that it works at level 2.0.6 on my Win7 64 system.

Hi,
I had no 'Stereo mixer'.
Then I flooked after the driver: Microsoft
Then I looked after the vendor and device id: Realtek
I installed the Realtek HDA driver and ... stereo mixer was available
but not activated. After activating I can record

Playback volume can now be set from the popup menu.
Just right click on one of the Vu meters.
