Well, what you prefer isn't really the most important criteria.
You need to work with the model for your driver type. Audio drivers,
like all KS drivers, use the kernel streaming mechanisms to communicate.
That means using properties for miscellaneous requests.

No doubt. Many people think audio drivers must be easy, but it's not
true.

You can't do this. If you expect your driver to work as an audio driver,
then you must let the port class driver handle IRP_MJ_CREATE. When
audio applications open your driver, they pass extra information in the
file name (an "instance string") that the port class driver uses to help
configure the filter. It is the port class driver that handles the
dispatching and gives the audio driver its personality. You can't
cut it out of the process.
If you want to access an audio driver, then you must use the same rules.
You can't just open a file and start blasting ioctls. If you save the
original IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL handler and substitute your own, you can
get a first shot at the ioctls, but you must hass the IRPs back to the
port class handler so it continues to work as an audio driver.
