Well, since you have started... it would be very encouraging if by any
chance that customer was a soundcard manufacturer - Creamware could do
with some competition!

Can we know how many SHARCs, what speeds, outputs, etc?

Re drivers: it would also be really useful to have a new WAVE driver
supporting at least a quad device, if not a full 6-channel one (see my
website for more agit-prop!). Then one could decode an Ambisonic
B-Format file into 5.1 or G format, among many other things. Users of
Sonic Foundry's Softencode could find that very useful too. And, last
but not least, one could play back a quad file made with Csound!
