Hi Eugene, Thanks for a quick reply. This makes sense. So in order to make the driver work with both applications (SONAR and Media player) simultaneously, I will need to allow multiple instances of the driver to be opened. On top of that, I will have to mix two streams (SONAR and media player) in the driver before sending it on the bus, right? Thanks, Neetu.
