9. DirectWIRE 3.0

1. What is DirectWIRE?
DirectWIRE is a 100% purely digital wire!
DirectWIRE is a driver technology, developed by from pro audio manufacturer ESI, which can be
used for routing audio streams internally within applications using EWDM Audio/MIDI drivers,
exclusively available for ESI and ESI.
With the DirectWIRE router, an application can record from other application's audio outputs
without external wiring or any loss of data when they are running at the same time.
DirectWIRE also allows you to easily rip any audio stream in real time by transferring data thru
DirectWIRE from MP3s, live On-line Broadcast and On-demand content, and more.

b) the MME column represents general application's I/O, for example from programs like
WinAmp, WaveLab (non ASIO mode) or Audition.
