WDM Recording and Playback Behavior

WDM record and playback is now supported at all PatchMix sample rates. The behavior
of the driver with respect to PatchMix sample rate is described below.
When PatchMix and the WDM audio content (.WAV file format, record and playback
settings in WaveLab. etc.) are both running at the same sample rate, and when a Wave
strip or send is present in the PatchMix mixer configuration, WDM audio will be played
or recorded "bit accurate" without sample rate conversion or bit truncation.
When running PatchMix at 44kHz/48kHz, if there is a mismatch between the WDM
record or playback audio content and the PatchMix sample rate, sample rate conversion
is performed, so that WDM audio will always be heard or recorded. Also, such non-
native-sample-rate audio is truncated to 16-bits.
When running PatchMix at 96kHz, WDM record or playback audio content must be
running at the same sample rate as PatchMix. If the sample rates are mismatched, NO
AUDIO will be recorded or played back. In other words, the WDM driver does not
perform sample rate conversion of any kind when PatchMix is running at 96kHz.
