Dear Igor
Nope I understood you correctly and my answer was at least in my eyes correct.
1st Each filterfactory is like a device on it's own -> now it depends how many
channels you set
that each pin can handle (multichannel) or in your case 1 mono channel per PIN
-> but take notice
that you'll have problems playing sound as normally 1 pin exposes it self as 1
stereo channel.
Now you can define a filterFactory which is just a capture or just a renderer
and it can be both
too -> and even in this case upper layer will look at filterFactory as a
separate render and a
separate capture device (well not really but it looks like this from
application point of view).
2nd It doesn't matter what you use for data transfer (copy or dma) in both
cases you will have a
streamPointer which will point to the PIN's (not filterFactory's) data/mappings.
So every channel is on it's own, but is using the same device properties
(..,DPC->DMA,..) as all
other pins.
Now how the data for your Pin is constructed depends on how many channels have
you defined in
KSDATARANGE_AUDIO and more what kind of pin has connected to your pin.
Now as you said that you want to have 16 separate devices -> this means that
you have 16 separate
filterFactories (but only 1 device).
Now you need to register every filterFactory interface to KSCATEGORY_AUDIO and
KSCATEGORY_RENDER and/or KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE.
(This can be done in inf file too.)
And after registering you need to call KsCreateFilterFactory for every
filterFactory
(ks can do this for you to if you'll use KSDEVICE_DESCRIPTOR).

If you'll define 1 filter factory with 16 pins the application will see only 1
device which supports
16 channels.

interesting in
1) how to properly describe my device as
multifunctional (if it really needed)
If your device supports only audio streams than you don't need to define
multifunctional device ->
(Notice: You have used 'multifunctional' word wrongly -> if your device is
multifunctional than
your device includes more than 1 type of data -> e.g. audio and midi -> when
you register your
device to a different category(read interface, class) your device becomes
multifunctional.)

All you need to do is to register your interface and call KsCreateFilterFactory
-> all other pin
stuff is supported through pin properties (KSAUTOMATION_TABLE and don't forget
to set the NODE's
too).
If you want I can send you some snippets of my code.
(Unfortunately I can't show you the whole driver because of the hardware legal
issues.
Fortunately the interface(and some other parts) is/are out of the legal stuff.)
