Actually, nothing prevents you from using Port Class with USB, Fire Wire,
etc...You get audio data from the OS with the PCI MiniPort, and you can then
send them on the USB for example. But the Port Class doesn't provide any
service to do that! You have to build the URB and the IRP to send your
packet. This is not very easy the first time you do it...But you have also
to do that if you use the Stream class.
