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

...
 Just out of curiosity: just what makes something ASIO
compliant? Is it 
mearly a spec that has to be met or is there more to it than that? I've 
never really been able to find anything about just what ASIO is. It has 
seemed to be more of a buzz word used in the marketing of PC/MAC sound 
hardware than anything else. JACK used to have ASIO mode didn't it? Was it 
just a pointless option that was dropped?
