 => the current ASIO code doesn't fit with any ASIO distrib: some parts
 were updated without keeping consitensy. The Windows problem is just a
 symptom.

 => IMHO (but only the person who updated (?) ASIO knows) there was a
 partly
 and inconsistent attempt to refresh the ASIO code using a more recent
 base.
 So there is nothing to send to ASIO developers, just to restart from the
 last
 ASIO base and to reapply the patches to adapt it to bind10.

 => this was done during the last "update" or at the beginning? in the
 second
 case I already suggest what I believe it should be done. In the first case
 there is a real issue because the fix breaks on at least a system so
 should
 be reconsider.
