Besides you rather extended answer gave no clue why it was not updated since 2.1 already. What is orthogonal architecture as applied to sound card ? And frankly I do not understand why should it be so complicated to write interface to wired FFT and D/A/D-converter to make the configuration understandable and logical ?
