RE: SSRC-ASIO Issue

What's the point? Every power cord and interconnect I've heard sounds different - but some sound better then others. Because Nordost or Synergistic Research cables sound different doesn't make them bad.

If ASIO has such major problems why does every major ProAudio equipment maker and most recording studios use ASIO on their PCs? The Buffer dependency issue affects latency which for recording session is a major pain, but for ordinary listening it really doesn't have much impact (other then slowing the response of the control commands).

Many would argue (see other threads) that ASIO is far superior to XP K-mixer and even the new audio stack in Vista. The best part is ASIO is independent from MIcrosoft and allows improvement and adaptation over time. I'm sure MS would love to get rid of ASIO, but the user base is just to large and many would move to AAPL or LINUX.
