No, that's not correct. The LFX, GFX, and GUI are all registered under the same FX subkey, but with different property IDs (a property ID is a combination of a GUID and an integer index value). It's not clear from the SysFX document what purpose multiple APOs for the same endpoint would be. Elsewhere in the same document (on page 4) the following is stated:

"Each Plug and Play hardware ID can be associated with only one GFX and one LFX sAPO."

I don't think this is referring to multiple endpoints within the same Hardware ID, since each of them would get installed as "FX\0" for each endpoint. Sounds like we need some clarification here...

standpoint, ...



My interpretation of the "multiple FX key" thing in the document is that you can have one subkey for the LFX, one subkey for the GFX, and one subkey for the configuration UI.
