I did something similar to this, but I ended up implementing my virtual driver as an AVStream driver. It uses KsCreatePin to create the sink pin on the hardware device. To discover the other devices, you can use IoRegisterPlugPlayNotification to get notified of all available sound devices. I'm connecting directly to the sound card, with one stream at a time -- I don't have to deal with Kmixer, so I can't help you there. It's not trivial, to say the least, and it requires a LOT of experimentation and testing to overcome gaps in the documentation.

I want to make a virtual driver that can send the sound to other device, but I don't know how to discover and instantiate a pin of another device. I have two ideas, but I have no idea on how to implement it: A) Create a source pin and connect it to the sink pin of the other device. But in the Port Class API there is no way to make a source pin. Can it be possible? B) Port the DirectKS example to kernel mode and use it to send the data but... SetupAPI is availible from kernel mode? I started with the MSVAD Simple as a base which uses a WaveCyclic MiniPort implementation. Is it right or I have to write the complete filter from myself? Also I want to send several streams at the time, so I think that I have to send them to KMixer and connect it to the Render pin of the other device. Best regards, PS: I have bought a book from Walter Oney about WDM programming, but sadly it haven't any section about Kernel Streaming. :( Did you know a good tutorial of Kernel Streaming filter creation? ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.com/ ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.com/
