I have little experience in this area of drivers and signals of sources outside the DAW on the same PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Ok so this is for a live webcast, ideally if I can keep it all in the same computer, I don't have to lose any signal quality from running skype on a different computer and through the mixer, I can just run it out of the a/d/a and into the mixer. It's the green headphone jack I want to avoid.
In one browser I will be streaming to ustream, and in another browser I will be monitoring the streaming product. I want that signal to be routed to a DAW something like audacity, or anything else simple you can suggest that will give me a simple soundwave visual. Since there is a 4 second delay the sound will be monitored visually. The sound has dropped out before while streaming so it's on my mind.
Is this even possible with asio? The a/d/a that will most likely be used is an echo Gina24. Any improvements or suggestions will be well received.

thx
*edit*
I forgot to add, eventually will be adding one more through google voice through google chat or something similar where people can call in. The gina has 2 in 8 out, so it's pretty well suited for the setup. Eventually it will be expanded hopefully to record them all as individual tracks, since there is a lightpipe i/o and leaves the produced podcast of the live webcast to enhanced production.
