Description
The ASIO backend was never completely finished or properly maintained. ASIO also became pretty redundant with the introduction of WASAPI which allowed low latency audio on pretty much every audio device with much less driver issues than we saw with ASIO.
From this point of view ASIO is a maintenance burden we should get rid of. Windows is served well enough by directsound for WindowsXP legacy support as well as WASAPI for everything else.
