ASIO
BASSASIO is a library for use in Windows software. Its purpose is to make it simple for developers to use ASIO hardware/drivers in their productions. C/C++, Visual Basic and Delphi APIs are included with examples. A .Net API is also available.

The BASS library is not required by BASSASIO, but it can be used for decoding purposes, and to apply DSP/FX, etc.
