So just to make sure I am following you correctly:
a) Both Wave Out and Direct Sound go through the KMixer.
b) This is not necessarily a bad thing assuming that you have turned off all your system sounds and keep the volume controls all at 100%.
c) ASIO4ALL is not "true" ASIO driver that bypasses the full Windows audio stack. However, it seems that it does bypass the KMixer by re-inserting the audio further up the stack with a technique called "kernel streaming" that may or may not work well, depending on the hardware and software being used.
Or am I just confusing myself (again)?
