How to connect to Windows 7 audio

I want to programmatically be able to connect to my computer's audio output (the exact same thing I'd hear if I plugged my headphones into the side of my laptop) and collect the audio.

So far, I haven't really been able to find anything that does this, other than Core Audio APIs, and even then it seems better built for simply locating sound files and encoding/unencoding then.

I've also taken a look at NAudio, however this seems better suited, again, for sound files. The one bit of streaming it is able to do, is only uses a URL as the source.

Can anyone point me to a library or interface within the .Net framework that will allow me to simply connect to my computer's audio out function and collect a stream of data?

In NAudio, you can capture the audio being played on your system with WasapiLoopbackCapture.
