  If you are really just starting out, then forget about DirectKS and just 
write a standard waveIn or DirectShow application to get your data.  After you 
get that working, you can decide whether the performance is adequate or not.

  There seems to be a common but mistaken impression that DirectKS is somehow 
vastly superior to the standard multimedia APIs, just like there is a mistaken 
impression that code runs faster in kernel mode than in user mode.  Neither 
statement is true.
