I believe Microsoft's assertion is that they do not want you to DO that
behind the back of the application. The application should be in
complete control of the audio stream. If the app wants you interfering
with and tapping into its audio stream, then the app should add a "tee"
filter to its graph and pipe the data in user space.
I don't necessarily agree with their position, and I think they are
actively preventing some useful and commercially viable audio
architecture concepts, but that seems to be the story.

I'll bet that it doesn't work with WaveRT drivers in Vista.
