Pete - it’s Paul from the surge team (thanks for using surge in your midi2 demo a few weeks ago btw).
Happy to see windows arm progressing both here and on the Microsoft dev blogs, and understand that asio is an important part of the stack.
But if you are chatting with our friends at Steinberg about asio continuing to be the way to get low latency full duplex audio on windows, could you perhaps give them a poke to consider that at least the asio client license (namely how a bit of windows softeware connects to asio drivers) have a more open source friendly license. Ideally an mit variant would be best! Those of us who ship gpl3 projects like surge and audacity can’t include asio support with the current license terms (which require signature and non redistribution) and so windows users wanting full duplex low latency standalone open source tools are kinda left in the cold.
I had asked here before but I figure you are more engaged so thought I would drop this thought in the thread here. (ASIO License and Open Source software)
Exciting stuff. Really looking forward to ump everywhere in 202x (x<7 I hope!)
