Hello Frank,

One example problematic scenario is when an app, let’s say a VOIP app, wishes to do
some of its own signal processing that may or may not conflict with processing that happens
within the APOs or the hardware driver or the hardware itself. There currently is no standard
mechanism in Windows for the driver (and its APOs) and the application to have awareness of
each other’s processing to avoid conflicting or duplicate signal processing. Opening
up a spot for another party (besides the app and the hardware driver) to add more
(uncoordinated) signal processing makes this problem worse rather than better.
Hmmm... I still think it is a problem that can be easily managed. If you'd have
a Global system FX (APO) which can load third party DMOs, the installation
would be under the control of the user. Somehow I get the impression when
reading your comment above that you worry about applications/APOs being
installed and used without the users conscent (?) With my approach, a DMO
processing Global FX would work pretty much like a VST plugin host, and giving
the user full control over which audio endpoints should have the processing,
like f.i. a USB SPDIF endpoint, and which should not have it. Maybe even
disable certain effects when used in VOIP cases (since that is a special
function), making signal processing everything but uncoordinated. Sorry Frank,
I just don't see why it should be that hard...
All the best,
/Rob
