Yes, me, too.  This is good advice.  I would also point out that you can
write this filter using KMDF, which makes the process of writing a
filter driver much easier.  You still have to worry about the details of
handling IOCTL_KS_READ and IOCTL_KS_WRITE requests, but you don't have
to worry about power and PnP and the read of the boilerplate.
