Sink plugin - how to use SendPluginCustomGameData and GetPluginCustomGameData

Question

I am creating a sink plugin that needs custom data.

I have a simple console application with the following code to send some custom data:

/* Preceding initialisation*/

    MyCustomDataStruct myCustomData;
    const auto result = AK::SoundEngine::SendPluginCustomGameData(
        AK::BUSSES::MY_BUS,
        AK_INVALID_GAME_OBJECT,
        AkPluginTypeSink,
        MY_COMPANY_ID,
        MY_PLUGIN_ID,
        &myCustomData,
        sizeof(MyCustomDataStruct)); 

In my plugin MyAudioDeviceSink is derived from AK::IAkSinkPlugin:

void MyAudioDeviceSink::Consume(AkAudioBuffer* inputBuffer, AkRamp gain)
{
    void* myCustomData = nullptr;
    AkUInt32 size = 0;
    context->GetPluginCustomGameData(myCustomData, size);

/* rest of function */

}

SendPluginCustomGameData returns AK_Success, but I am finding that myCustomData is always null in my plugin. I must be missing something obvious but I can't see what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions? Is there 'custom data' example anywhere?

Did you find out an example of this? i'm trying to do a pretty similar thing

I think there may be sth wrong with the sending part, cuase the getting part just gets whatever you send. If you are not setting right, it wont show anything. Please check the busID or bus object ID, these two params have no explaination in the document.
