I do not do the synchronization.  On receiving either a microphone
packet or a speaker packet, I simply forward it to their processing library.

By the way, I had my terms backwards.  The render side is a GFX APO. 
It's the capture side that must be an LFX.

The best approach for Vista is not to do it.  ;) I've told my client
repeatedly how dangerous it is to travel down a path that is contrary to
the philosophy espoused by Microsoft.

Once you have swallowed that blue pill, however, it really depends on
your situation.  If you will ever have to deal with an HDAUDIO
microphone source, then you have no choice but to go with the LFX APO.
