Virtual Audio Device driver porting from CoreAudio to DriverKit

Hello,

my goal is to port a virtual audio device written using CoreAudio and IOKit to DriverKit because it is mandatory for App Store distribution for macOS. The driver can be easily installed in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL and has a .driver extension; it already works in user-space and it is a loopback interface for audio capturing and processing. I have viewed other posts on this forum and the WWDC21 and WWDC22 videos regarding the uses of DriverKit. My question is if it possible to port such driver to DriverKit and embed it in a macOS app for the app store. If yes, is there an example I can follow that allows me to fully embed the driver in an app and consume it from there or if I should still stick to using a separate installer distributing it elsewhere.I have viewed this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreaudio/building_an_audio_server_plug-in_and_driver_extension and it seems that the .driver cannot be embedded in an app in anyway.

Thank you kindly for your help, Best regards, Chris
