Through which API? I not sure I understand audio
IO on Vista, with the
concurrent existence of several APIs. Never mind, perhaps this is a
bit OT in a Linux Audio list...
There's WASAPI and rest is practically emulated on top of it.
The good side is that there's practically one API where the programmer
can choose if he wants to do casual audio with mixing and samplerate
conversion (always floats) or he can talk directly to the hardware in
native sample format if needed. There is also possibility to pipeline
and connect different audio elements there (like effects etc).
So it's kind of ALSA, jack and pulseaudio combined behind one API...
