Hmmm, it would have to work with ASIO to be useful to Windows pro audio users, but I think most DRC is aimed at home cinema. There are some studio monitor speakers that have DRC built in, but they are expensive. I have mixed in other people's control rooms where it would have been very useful :-) It's quite common in studio control rooms to have too much high-frequency damping (e.g. acoustic foam tiles or carpet on the walls, mineral tiles on the ceiling or walls) but not enough bass trapping, which gives you a very un-natural mix environment. I actually replaced one pair of monitors because I thought their cabinet design was creating a resonant peak in the bass range (one double-bass note was coming back much louder than the others). I bought new monitors but the problem was still there, because it was actually the room causing the resonance! There is lots of good information on manual room correction in the archives of http://www.soundonsound.com/ which I would strongly recommend reading before spending time or money on DRC. Just the position of the monitors in the room and where you put your mixing chair can make a big difference. Having said that, the DRC tools give you the opportunity to evaluate the success of any changes to the physical layout and materials of your mix room. Cheers!
