As someone else pointed out, doesn't using
multiple apps place some
interesting requirements on the hardware? What does the
hardware do if the
apps are running at different frequencies?
resample.
this is reputedly why the creative cards sound so poor. Even if
your stream is at the cards nominal rate of 48k, it still gets
resampled.
its quite an insidious degredation though. If you listen to the spdif
output of the sblive it seems to sound ok, but if you compare it
to the output of
a 'proper' card then the difference is imediately apparent (if you
are sensitive to these things). A lot of detail and beauty is lost.
