Thanks for the reply Daniel.
I forget to ask in my original post what is the sequence of commands to find
the USB audio device programmatically? With the HID interface, you can ask for
the HID GUID by the command HidD_GetHidGuid(), then call SetupDiGetClassDevs()
with the HidGuid value to get the DeviceInfoSet, which gets you further down
the chain to loop through the HID devices to match the Vendor/Product IDs in
order to find the handle to the HID device and finally open it with
CreateFile(). I am sure there must a similar sequence for usbaudio.sys
devices. I would like to be able to the find the audio interfaces by
Vendor/Product ID numbers. MSDN and other references (so far) have not pointed
me in the proper direction or at least I don't know how to ask for it. ;)
In response to not being able to unselect the usb device as the "preferred"
audio device, couldn't a combination of an .inf file and an upper or lower
filter driver force this action? Following up my original post, couldn't I
open the handle --after I learn how to find it -- to my usb audio device as
"not shared" and force the system and other applications to use the other audio
devices? I plan on having my device's Windows application load on startup and
stay in the system tray. As a matter of fact, I would like it if the device is
plugged in and the application is not running, that the application is
automatically launched. My USB digital still camera does that. I can tell it
to launch Photoshop or other graphics application to receive the photos every
time the camera enumerates. Can something like that be done through filters or
some other user-level application, or am I looking at custom audio drivers for
that?
I know the raison d'etre for this mailing list is to develop WDM audio drivers,
I would prefer be able to use the usbaudio.sys driver as much as possible with
this device.

Hi, Mark.
I don't think there's a way to prevent a device from becoming the preferred
audio device. Take a look at this message thread in the wdmaudiodev
archives:

I want my application to use the device exclusively and leave the preferred
audio device settings as the were before this USB device was plugged in.
Also, I don't want this device to show up as a choice in the mixer at all.
