Here is example of how to set your custom file to background of your mixer:

'initialize a mixer
Dim m_objMixer As New MMixerClass()
m_objMixer.ObjectStart(Nothing)
m_objMixer.FilePlayStart()
'add stream to the mixer
Dim pItem As MItem
m_objMixer.StreamsAdd("", Nothing, "C:\myFile.wmv", "", pItem, 1.0)
et your file to the background
Dim myBackground As MItem
myMixer.StreamsBackgroundSet(Nothing, "c:\myBack.avi", "", myBackground, 2.0)
//initialize a mixer
MMixerClass m_objMixer = new MMixerClass();
m_objMixer.ObjectStart(null);
m_objMixer.FilePlayStart();
//add stream to the mixer
MItem pItem;
m_objMixer.StreamsAdd("", null, @"C:\myFile.wmv", "", out pItem, 1.00);
//set your file to the background
MItem myBackground;
myMixer.StreamsBackgroundSet(null, @"c:\myBack.avi", "", out myBackground, 2.0);
var
myItem, myBackground: MItem;
myMixer: MMixer;
myFile: IMfile;
myObject: IMObject;
myStreams: IMstreams;
myPath: widestring;
begin
//initialize a mixer
myMixer:= CreateComObject(CLASS_MMixer) as MMixer;
myStreams:= myMixer as IMStreams;
myFile:= myMixer as IMFile;
myObject:= myMixer as IMobject;
myObject.ObjectStart(nil);
myFile.FilePlayStart();
//add stream to the mixer
myStreams.StreamsAdd('', nil, 'C:\myFile.wmv', '', myItem, 2.0);
myStreams.StreamsBackgroundSet(nil, 'c:\myBack.avi', '', myBackground, 2.0);
