Note that software > synthesizers aren't directly supported by DirectShow, but require DXi > (an open extension to DirectShow created by Cakewalk). Do we get a DXi review, too? > 6. Time representation > > Time is represented in a type called REFERENCE_TIME, which is a 64-bit > signed integer whose durational unit is 100 nanoseconds. Can you elaborate on the pros/cons of this? > 7.1.2 Data-types > > Arbitrary data types are supported. 99% of all commercial DirectShow > plug-ins support 32-bit IEEE floating point data, definitely the > preferred format. Can you elaborate on HOW? > 7.2 In-place processing > > Plug-ins are free to process in-place, or not, depending on their > needs. The DirectShow SDK provides samples of both kinds of > processing.
