1) Linux end users appear to happily depend on NDISWRAPPER -> Windows
drives for their wireless needs;

2) Steinberg developed ASIO: "ASIO stands for Audio Streaming Input/Output and 
was invented by Steinberg [1]. It was introduced into the PC world with the 
presentation of the Cubase VST 3.5 software. The first version of the ASIO API 
(ASIO 1.0) did provide the possibility to reach similar or even lower latency 
values as DirectSound but both not only for playback, also for recording."

AFAIK there are many non-Steinberg soundcards having ASIO drivers
- for both Mac and Windows, so this probably means that the API is
defined not that bad - otherwise we would have only Steinberg cards
with the driver.
