This picture may help (from a nice article on www.extremetech.com, as is the previous picture).It actually doesn't look as bad as it seems. Vista is more flexible, and allows multiple audio processing plug-ins to be daisy chained in the signal path (kind of like VST and DirectX, but built into the operating system and operating much closer to the hardware).
For example, you can have a plug in to do room correction, another one to implement Dolby/DTS decoding, another one to do equalization, etc. etc. And once implemented, it will impact all applications.
Purists like me who stay away from processing will probably continue to use ASIO.
