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.
