I have a Delphi 6 program that receives audio from an external program via a socket. Now I want to feed that audio to a DirectShow filter graph I create that routes that audio to different output filters on the PC. I am using DSPACK for my DirectShow filter graph work. I'll be using one of the DSPACK examples that shows how to create a Push Source Filter as my starting point.
Is it possible to embed a DirectShow filter directly into my main EXE, or do I have to create an external DLL or AX file and run regsvr32 on it? I'd like to avoid creating an external module otherwise I'll have to create a parameter and data passing bridge between it and my main program and I'd prefer to eliminate that work. I'm wondering if there is a way to simply include the push source filter code in my main program and finesse Windows into working with it as a DirectShow filter if that is at all possible.
