Hi, I've been trying to to something similar to this. From what I've gathered, you can either talk to the WDM device directly using IOCTLs or you can use the ksProxy filter. Look for stuff about ksProxy in the MSDN Library and the Windows DDK documentation. Also, play with the GraphEdit program that comes with the Windows Platform SDK (try connecting stuff to the WDM Streaming Devices). As far as I know, using WDM streaming bypasses the kmixer (I think). If you are interested in working on a simple VST Host, I'd be interested in helping with it, since I'm also trying to figure out this WDM streaming stuff.
