[PD-dev] Alternative to Portaudio under Windows

If my understanding is correct, this is more of a rapper which adds ASIO 
support to hardware not designed to.
As a side effect it reduces latencies on mainly AC'97 chips which is fun 
when working with on (mother) board interface, but is not so useful with 
hardware that support ASIO to begin with.

Although that is just my view, I did try the latest version just now 
which was not even close to virtually wire speed I experienced with the 
same hardware under Ubuntu.


P.S.

BTW if Mathieu is around..
The gimmick of "advanced mode" labeled with a photo of Einstein versus 
"simple mode" being George Bush seems to have been removed from the 
latest version of this software.
