To my knowledge, nobody has written an audio device driver for Janus/Ozy.  That isn't to say it couldn't be done, it's just that device drivers are rather wonky and specialized and nobody has stepped up to do it yet.  Additionally, any device drivers would probably have to be signed to work in modern Windows versions (or so is my Mac-y understanding), so there will be some cost there.
