I did a little RAM retrieval tonight (I seem to have a lot of randomly accessable memory these days) and remembered that it is recommended that you bypass any windows OS specific mixers/processors to avoid resampling of the audio stream.
Though Vista supposedly makes this easier, its still needs to be done.
From Wikipedia: In shared mode, audio streams are rendered by the application and optionally applied per-stream audio effects known as Local Effects (LFX) (such as per-session volume control). Then the streams are mixed by the global audio engine, where a set of global audio effects (GFX) may be applied. Finally, they're rendered on the audio device.
The above passage sounds like the resampling/remixing stuff I want to avoid. Unfortunately, shared mode (which I am running) is the default. One of the reasons I think that I am using the Vista mixer is that, if I am both using the computer and playing music, I get PC sounds mixed in with the music.
Has anybody worked through this? Am I correct in my assumptions?

Windows does not play with your audio. It is the 3rd party drivers that do crap on it. What is your audio card and-or chipset?
