First it opens a ton of security holes, second it can be quite hard to
handle the problems of the user mode application going away or the driver
wanting to unload. Finally, you have the synchronization problems
between
the user and kernel mode, if nothing else sync can eat up as much time as
just passing the data directly. This is really a very bad idea.

Hello,

I developed an application in user mode that capture audio data and
stores
the data in shared memory using CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile.
This
memory is accessible via an API i've developed (standard DLL stuff).
I'm
now
working on a virtual mic driver (MSVAD pcemx example drom DDK) and my
intentions is to ovverride the CopyTo function and pump the data from
my
shared memory into the mic buffer. Is this a good approach ? and does
any
body have an example on how to map the shared memory into the kernel
space
?
