Well my architecture now is a module which gets the contents from
different sources, elaborate them building a final xml and then it
registers an output filter which reply to the user.
So I'm already using an output filter.
But if only a source of mine reply with gzip content, I don't see how to
pass it to mod_deflate, which decompresses it, and then elaborate it
with the other sources.
Nick, could you advice me with a solution (the only solution I'm seeing
now is write a function to decompress the content but I'd like to use
the one given by mod_deflate).

There is something I can't understand.
If you declare
ap_add_output_filter("INFLATE", ctx, req, conn);
how can I call the function to decompress a content and the get the
control again?
I knew that ap_add_output_filter declares an outut filter which is
called after your module.
Am I missing something?
It sounds like you're missing apache's filter architecture. It's too
much to summarise in an email, but see my .sig (the site has articles
as well as the book). The manpage for mod_filter might also help
explain what Mike tried to tell you.
If you want a functional API for (de)compression, then nothing in
apache is relevant to you, except insofar as the mod_deflate code
is a usage example. Of course you can do that: you just lose the
benefits of Apache's modular architecture, and end up with something
looking like a monolithic kitchen-sink CGI application.
