WDM is the windows standard
As you may be aware WDM is Windows designed (Windows Driver Module). In fact it was the guys at Cakewalk that made it all happen (or so the story goes). Taking that into account you would hope it would become a stable standard. It is reaching incredibly low latencies and full support as far as automation and effects processing goes. Sonar has moved towards supporting the WDM standard and ditching ASIO. In fact as a result of the whole WDM thing Cakewalk products are being deemed the best for Audio production on PC. With no third party driver issues it is easy to see why this is becoming the case. Bout time windows wrote there own pro audio standard instead of leaving it up to the software producers. Either way, as long as the drivers are written well, it matters not. However, it wouldn't be suprising to see ASIO become a thing of the past now Windows have made the leap.
