In Reply to: Do we need ASIO under Vista? posted by bobp on February 14, 2007 at 06:42:28:
Check out the following thread on AVSForum (includes participation from Microsoft personnel).My personal opinion is that if you were primarily interested in bit perfect playback, then Vista seems to have addressed the concerns that we had around kmixer (even in shared mode, but certainly in exclusive mode).
For pro audio applications, the main question is latency. I don't know if WASAPI exclusive mode allows the same control over latency that ASIO provides.
The huge advantage that ASIO has in the pro audio world is excellent compatibility/support from nearly all the software packages out there - time will tell whether we will see the same level of support for exclusive mode.
