[wdmaudiodev] Get Volume Property for MIDI Miniport

I have yet another inquiry about the Mixer API and how calls to it are
translated into KS incantations.
When an application calls the Mixer API to obtain volume settings for a
line, my driver usually receives the following ioctl:
IOCTL_KS_PROPERTY accompanied by:
Property.Set = KSPROPSETID_Audio;
Property.Id = KSPROPERTY_AUDIO_VOLUMELEVEL;
Property.Flags = KSPROPERTY_TYPE_GET ;
The driver *doesn't* receive one of these when an application requests MIDI
volume though. When the Mixer API is used to query the current MIDI
volume, the number that's returned seems to come from a key in the
registry. In my case, the key is:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc
-00a0c9223196}\-blah, blah, blah-\Device Parameters\Mixer\3\Controls\0
The result is a mixer application will likely set the position of its MIDI
volume control incorrectly. When the control is moved, the driver receives
a KSPROPERTY_TYPE_GET ioctl. The driver and application(s) remain synced up
thereafter.
As you might guess, this is only a problem when the driver is initially
loaded. On its first load, the driver inits its volumes to a (driver
defined) default value. Most of these defaults are passed to the Mixer
API via the KSPROPERTY_TYPE_GET request.
So, here's my question: Is this expected ? Or, might my driver be doing
something that would prevent it from receiving GET requests while still
receiving SET requests for MIDI volume ?
