I understand your point, that almost all systems suggest ASIO, but the fact is that is not actually the standard, and that may change over the next few years. With Win 7 , and now Win 8, Mac, and even linux coming on. other standards will rise up.

I have the US 800, running in XP, and i use WDM drivers in RB, and ASIO in Sonar, and MTS. Big advantage, as i can have both open!!!

I read page 12, and it shows both WDM, and ASIO driver connection in the diagram.

ASIO drivers are good, just saying that there are alternatives. Wrap the WDM driver in ASIO4All. Winsound witn Win 7.

Actually RB has been running so smooth in WDM, i had forgotten until the other night that i had switched back from ASIO to slightly lower the CPU usage.

I agree that we need to see these thing addressed in time, but these are very useable programs.
