Did a clueless manager just say to you, take this Win32 application and
make it work in kernel mode, or something equally silly?

Anything having to do with streaming audio or video is incredibly hard
in Windows. There's a new programming model every time there's a new
release of the OS, and there's never an tutorial documentation to go
with it. As a practical matter, only high-budget projects have any hope
of including any significant innovation because of that. Thus, you can
(1) hire an expert to do this job (whatever it is) for you, or (2) scale
back your project to the point where it doesn't require any variation on
samples that are already in the DDK.
