I'm not certain I understand the meaning of "have his echo cancellation operate 
globally over all audio producers and consumers" but if your desire is to be 
able to cancel the final post-mix signal, you can utilize the loopback feature. 
Look at the new IAudioClient interface and the AUDCLNT_STREAMFLAGS_LOOPBACK 
flag.

I understand your goal here, but how does this philosophy reconcile with a 
client's quite reasonable desire to have his echo cancellation operate globally 
over all audio producers and consumers?  It's not clear to me that an 
application-centric focus, using DMO effects in an app graph, can provide the 
same end-to-end control that one has in XP.
