Comments

CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream
is a helper function that facilitates passing streams containing interfaces between threads, although you could implement it yourself from existing APIs if desired. It creates a stream and passes it to CoMarshalInterface, then passes the pointer to that stream back to the caller. The stream it returns is guaranteed to behave correctly when different threads access it. The receiving thread can then call the corresponding helper function CoGetInterfaceAndReleaseStream to get the interface pointer and release the stream object.
