Maybe I'm missing something obvious... if so, please enlighten me.
I use DirectSound/DirectShow for everything in Mobile Media Center. That is why it is so fast. I even wrote some portions in pure ILASM code so that I could make sure of the best tweaks. You do not need any other programs to piggy back of off. So I know what you mean. This is a very huge pain in the arse though, since you have to do a lot of things yourself, where other SDK's and software like Winamp already have it done and tested for many years.
