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.
