1) KMixer can be problematic if you're looking for bitperfect or low
latency output, it can be useful in other situations (which I won't go
into). However it's easily avoidable using ASIO. I use a Windows box in
my music (production) rig and get very low latency, multi-channel, bit
perfect audio

To further stress this point, some here run the Server on machines that
does not even have audio hardware or proper software drivers for it,
read NAS boxes etc.
I'm running a small server with ClarkConnect Linux , i think the sound
drivers are broken/not installed, but it doesn't matter.

Dealers, and manufacturers are still frantically trying to sell the
