It's an undocomented behavior, but IDMOWrapperFilter::Init()
only uses the DMO's CLSID in CoCreateInstance() and ignores
the category GUID.

So you should be able to use
CoRegisterClassObject(CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,REGCLS_ MULTI_
SEPARATE) to register the DMO's IClassFactory internally,
without globally registering the inproc server.

You can implement the class factory yourself or re-use the
implementation in the BaseClasses or in ATL and so on.
