I ran into this once too...in the docs for AvStrMiniPinProcess, it states this:
"The process dispatch is either made at the default IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL, or
possibly at DISPATCH_LEVEL if the minidriver has specified
KSPIN_FLAG_DISPATCH_LEVEL_PROCESSING in the relevant
KSPIN_DESCRIPTOR_EX<http://technet.microsoft.com/es-es/query/ff563534>."
So, I finally concluded that KSPIN_FLAG_DISPATCH_LEVEL_PROCESSING does not mean
that the processing WILL happen at DISPATCH_LEVEL, just that it may. If you
don't specify the flag, you're guaranteed that the processing will occur at
PASSIVE_LEVEL.

Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Specifying KSPIN_FLAG_DISPATCH_LEVEL_PROCESSING on audio
render pin
I am specifying this flag as one of many in the pin descriptor
(KSPIN_DESCRIPTOR_EX) for an audio render pin. On invocations of my pin's
Process() method, I call KeGetCurrentIrql() which returns PASSIVE_LEVEL (value
of "0") which seems contrary to what the flag should've done.
