Answer 1

This code snippet turns a stream (stream) into an InMemoryRandomAccessStream (ims) which implement IRandomAccessStream. The trick is that CopyTo has to be called on a background thread.

        InMemoryRandomAccessStream ims = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
        var imsWriter = ims.OpenWrite();
        await Task.Factory.StartNew(() => stream.CopyTo(imsWriter));
