Custom versions and source code
If you are an audio application developer and need audio transport from/to other audio applications, you may be interested in a custom (proprietary) version of VAC. Such version has customized names and parameters, and can be used only together with a customer's application. Custom versions have the same functionality as the common version. Customization assumes only unique names and unique key, not additional custom functionality.
There also is a special VAC version that has no internal connection between its playback and recording sides. It works only together with a special application that receives audio data from the playback end, and sends audio data to the recording end, via circular buffer in shared memory. Such special application acts like a physical, hardware audio adapter, while VAC driver provides only an interface for Windows audio subsystem and/or KS audio applications. With such type of interactions, ultra-low latencies can be achieved, there are no clock difference issues, and the behavior of simulated device is defined by the application.
Another product, Thin Audio Gateway, is based on VAC code but works differently, providing direct client audio buffer access to the customer's application via shared memory, using no intermediate buffering and/or clocking.
