Matt,

You mentioned that Windows Vista will use the friendly names of the pins to identify devices. I'm having a lot of grief with Vista Beta 1 and our multi-channel sound cards. Each channel on the card is registered as a separate input, output and topology subdevice, as described in the DDK under "Multiple Audio Subdevices", and under all current OSs these appear as separate waveIn, waveOut and Mixer devices, but under Vista it tries to make them all one device with multiple source and destination pins. This is a big problem as applications using our cards need to open multiple subdevices simultaneously.

Am I going to have to write a buss driver and implement the multiple subdevices that way under Vista, or is there another way around this?

The Vista Beta 1 WDK documentation on "Multiple Audio Subdevices" and "Kernel Streaming Topology to Audio Mixer API Translation" is unchanged from the previous DDK documentation, so I was wondering if this changed behaviour of Vista is actually documented anywhere?
