Hy Cyan,
"Aside from providing the best possible quality (due to elimination
of all resampling), it would open up the possibility of using the
multi-channel features later -- which only function up to 96kHz.
Considering there are 10 independent outputs and the media kit mixer
already has the necessary routing, this would be very useful!"
Absolutely agree! A real-world example would be TuneTracker. Radio
stations need the ability to play audio over-the-air, but at the same
time, have the ability to play audio "off-the-air" to a set of
audition speakers, so they can preview songs and other audio prior to
broadcasting it. Right now we accomplish that with a second sound
card. Ultimately, HDA would allow us to use the well-beyond-broadcast-
quality specs of a motherboard's built-in audio to handle BOTH,
freeing up not one slot on the motherboard, but possibly two!
