What is ASIO?

ASIO is a driver interface for pro-audio apps developed by Steinberg. It's 
somewhat similar to our beloved Jack sound server, but not as advanced.
 
I thought about implementing ASIO for wine so we are one step neaer to a running Cubase.
I have also some advanced audio hardware - hercules 16/12 fw (need to check if there are some
dirvers).
 
At the moment I am a student of Computer Sciences in the 4 term and have done programming with
c, c++ and java.
 
Bugs, which get fixed:

What do you think about this idea?
 
Thanks,
Christian
