I believe the internal LAV Splitter Source is used if you play a streaming video source. Otherwise, you can stick with external filters for all of the major filters, including LAV Splitter Source. I am not certain of this, but I think that is how it works.

If you search for the external filters portion of the DSPlayer guide found in this forum, you should be able to find a download link for the external filters configuration file (.xml) that I have been using for quite some time to use with DSPlayer. 

Hardware acceleration will be found in the external control panel for LAV Video. Find LAV Video in your installed apps and configure from there.
