First. Love SqueezeSlave. Great work! 

I found myself looking for something like this because of hi-rez
support. I was encouraged to see a wasapi version but upon using it,
all my hi-rez material and SACD rips were down-sampled to 44.1khz. Of
course, further reading shows that the limitation is within the
original code of squeezeslave(correct me if I'm wrong). I use SPDIF
output on my computer to an external DAC and the DAC displays what the
sample rate is locked in at.

My question is, isn't the point of a wasapi build to "passthrough" the
audio file as is? If I launch XBMC and play the music file (using
ffdshow codec, WASAPI SPDIF output within XMBC), the music same music
files lock in at the correct sample sizes (ie 88khz, 176khz...etc). 

Is it possible to implement SqueezeSlave in a similar passthrough
manner? 

Even the SqueezeBox hardware themselves are limited through SPDIF. The
Touch maxes out at 96/24 and all other players before the Touch
downsample hi-rez material to 48/24,16 or 44/24,16 . I was hoping
SqueezeSlave would break the barrier.

I have a Touch, 2 duets and a classic and have quite a few SACDs
recently ripped that are sampled at 176/24 and 192/24. If SqueezeSlave
can be implemented the way XMBC passes audio, I'll sell all my players
and donate the profits to your team. I'm guessing many people would be
willing to pay for a version like this because it would provide
something Logitech does not currently provide.

And yes, I could use XBMC but I'd have to organize multiple sets of
playlists and VortexBox is not an option for me because I'm not ready
to wipe out my existing media computer for a new OS :)
