JACK is to Linux what ASIO is to Windows. JACK already provides the
lowest latency/highest quality that the hardware can deliver.
David: What problem are you trying to solve?
Just like fst lets me run with a dll name and get jack clients for a vst
plugin, I would like to cite a windows asio driver name and get jack clients
for this card. Legacy hardware with no alsa support. May or may not be
possible depending upon the asio vs directX mode of the windows driver.
After doing some searching on google I have found that
versions
of JACK 0.80 and under supported ASIO, but it was removed in later
versions
I was thinking of trying to write such a thing but do not understand
Steinberg's code well enough. It is "non-free" which I guess is why it
was taken out. I want it back :-)

AFAIK no one has written a wrapper for windows audio drivers via wine yet.

although i understand your point, i'd like to point out that there is
more "legacy" h/w with ALSA support than there is with winXP driver
support.
what you want will not happen unless somebody in the wine project does
something. thats unlikely, since wine is a user-space only effort
(although they have fed back a few useful requests to the kernel).
device drivers (in general) live in the kernel.
