I was able to turn our LFX APO into an EFX on 8.1; a single binary works
for both cases, so it can be done.

You have to implement IAudioSystemEffects2 and implement
GetEffectsList.  Your Initialize routine has to check for
APOInitSystemEffects2.  Your INF has to add one of the properties

    PKEY_FX_StreamEffectClsid
    PKEY_FX_ModeEffectClsid
    PKEY_FX_EndpointEffectClsid

and one of

    PKEY_SFX_ProcessingModes_Supported_For_Streaming
    PKEY_MFX_ProcessingModes_Supported_For_Streaming
    PKEY_EFX_ProcessingModes_Supported_For_Streaming

For the most part, I think that was it.
