Sets lasterror property (-1 if function is not available or the video channel is not initialized).
Possible flags:
channelPlayNormal
Your channel component uses its default playback methodology.
channelPlayFast
Your channel component sacrifices playback quality to achieve the specified playback rate.
channelPlayHighQuality
Your channel component plays the channel's data at the highest possible quality. This option sacrifices playback rate for the sake of image quality. It may reduce the amount of processor time available to other programs in the computer. This option should not affect the quality of the recorded data, however.
channelPlayAllData
Your channel component tries to play all of the data it captures, even the data that is stored in offscreen buffers. This option is useful when you want to be sure that the user sees as much of the captured data as possible. The sequence grabber component sets this flag to 1 to play all the captured data. The sequence grabber component may combine this flag with any of the other values for the playFlags parameter.
