Things could be better. Agreed. But this is two different technologies.
Diald is IP based, while windows solution is DLL based. So the linux
solution is suitable for router for example, the windows method is
suitable for workstation. We could very well have both. I am working on
such a concept in my remaudio package. I will annonce this probably this

I have to work on the diald filter setting. More work...
