Kinda fun watching
this video
. As it seems the big new features of the Windows 7 audio stack are the
ability to move streams while they are live, to do role-based policy routing,
and to pause streams during phone calls. Hah! That’s so yesterday! A certain sound server I happen to know very
well
has been supporting this for a longer time already, and you can even
buy that logic in various consumer
products
.

Nice to know that in some areas of the audio stack it’s not us who need to
play catch-up with them, but they are the ones who need to play catch-up with
us.
