That's really cool news :)

Do your changes rely on the Mircosoft DirectShow Base Class code ? Because 
I've got to great pains to avoid using any of this because of licensing 
issues.

Well, I'm sure you will understand that we'll not give SVN (we switched to 
subversion recently) write access without having some kind of warranty that 
you know what you're doing.
I would suggest posting a patch of your changes against the SVN version and 
I'm sure that if the patch is found worthy by the developers, you'll be 
able to get SVN write access.
