Thanks. That cleared a lot. Waldemar MR> There are 3 ways that you can support "multiple stereo pins". Each MR> method will have a different result. MR> 1) Multiple filters, each with a single stereo pin: This will be MR> exposed as multiple devices in both the MME Wave API, and the MR> DirectSound API. MR> 2) A single filter with multiple stereo pins: This will show up as a MR> single device in both the MME Wave and Dsound APIs. MR> 3) A single filter with a single stereo pin that supports > 1 possible MR> instance: This will show up as a single device in both APIs, but you MR> will get multiple secondary Dsound buffers.

MR> Filter(interface) is registered to KSCATEGORY_AUDIO, KSCATEGORY_RENDER MR> and KSCATEGORY_CAPTURE.
