I see benefits and downsides to both approaches, and I wouldn't be 
surprised if sometime down the track users get a choice of which way 
they want to go.  Performance and control are the obvious benefits of 
bypassing the Windows sound driver code.  OTOH, a Windows audio 
driver means compatibility with a wider variety of software out of the box.

Unfortunately, I don't have the necessary skills, otherwise this sort 
of thing would get my interest along the lines of ("Can I make it work?" :) ).
