Virtual mixer (vmix) source files

The virtual mixer consists of two parts. The actual code is now part of the framework and always loaded. The second parts is the vmix pseudo driver that is used to load the configuration settings from vmix.conf. When the vmix driver is attached it gives control to the vmix framework code.

SourceExplanation

Virtual mixer loader stub

This driver is used to activate the actual vmix core that is part of the OSS framework.
