What kind of audio processing do you want to do?  With the new (Vista+)
audio engine philosophy, the GFX APOs are considered part of the audio
hardware, and are installed along with the audio drivers.  You can't add
your own APOs, unless you're doing it just for your own experimental
purposes.

If you have an application that needs to do audio processing, it can add
whatever filtering it needs, but Microsoft wants to make sure that other
applications are not forced to use your filtering.  Prior to Vista, many
people were writing clever (or not-so-clever) audio tweaks, and they
ended up making latency so unpredictable that it was very difficult to
write professional audio applications.
