I don't exactly understand how it would 'replace' the existing CCCP build of ffdshow but are you sure it won't give troubles afterwards with the CCCP installation?
CCCP isn't an application of itself, but merely a compilation of different filters, splitters and even entire stand-alone programs. A list of this compilation's parts can be found here:

You mentioned in the first post something about a WMPTSE plugin. After a bit of searching I came to the conclusion that it is only there for the purpose of adding Ogg/Flac files to the media library, right?
WMPTSE allows reading the metadata of certain audio formats, which are officially unsupported by Windows Media Player, including Vorbis, FLAC, WavPack, MPEG-4-Audio, Musepack, Monkey's Audio and a few others. Adding the files to the Media Library is made possible by a working DirectShow filter instead, WMPTSE just further processes the data. But nonetheless, it might indeed help to deactivate WMPTSE while trying to get the DirectShow filters running, simply for stability reasons of Windows Media Player. I remember some issues I had myself, when I was still WMPTSE in conjunction with the illiminable filters. Scanning the music archive had caused a huge memory leak, forcing me to kill the wmplayer.exe process prior to it locking up the system. The issue was resolved by reinstalling both WMPTSE and the filters.
Getting officially unsupported formats to run flawlessly with Windows Media Player has always been a tricky job. As a user of Amarok and Winamp (depending on the OS I'm just running) I actually wouldn't ever have tried to do so, if friends and family didn't insist on using their most familiar audio player on this computer. Despite the annoying compatibility issues with third-party software, of course.
