Hi,

AFAIK, ASIO is the name that Windows' low latency audio technology is 
getting. Linux features a similar approach via ALSA (as for low latency 
functionality). A hardware manufacturer stating that a particular product is 
compliant with ASIO means there's an ASIO driver (Windows) available for 
this product.

Cheers,

Alex
