Hi - I've been digging a little deeper lately and am trying to get my arms around ASIO. I know I use it now in my DAW/Computer/Digital Audio Interface. And as long as I have all the right boxes checked, everything seems works out. But now I want to effect some internal routing, etc. and would like to learn just what is going on so I can control it - as it seems like it is really controlling me.

I think I understand that there are 32 channels of ASIO.

What program in my computer provides, or is the source for ASIO? Windows? My interface? BIAB or Sonar? Or is it a separate program running in the background?

Is there anything like an "ASIO monitor" that will show me in real time just what the ASIO inputs and outputs are - the routings?

Is there a document that will explain ASIO and how it interacts with my computer, interface, and DAW?

Thanks for any enlightenment.
