Hi, I just came by an interesting interview on Microsoft's Channel9 where the host interviews the engineers behind the Windows7 audio architecture and actually they provide some nice insights about how the audio card is driven from user-space and how things are put in place to reduce latency and improve the overall streaming performance. The video is available at: http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Elliot-H-Omiya-Larry-Osterman-and-Frank-Yerrace-Inside-Windows-7-Audio-Stack/ for download in various formats. Here is a direct download URL: http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/ch9/0/2/8/9/7/4/InsideWin7Audio_ch9.wmv . Regards, Ilyes Gouta.
