I don't understand this comment. There is no need to "create an Audio
2.0 class spec" -- the specification was created and approved in 2006,
right? Are you trying to say that it may not make sense for Microsoft
to invest in an Audio 2.0 Class driver at this point, because of its
imminent replacement? If so, I would dispute that assertion. Any new
spec is undoubtedly still several years away, and popular adoption
several years beyond that. In the meantime, Audio 2.0 hardware is here NOW.
