DVD playback software sends a PCM stream to the operating system sound driver, regardless of the audio format contained on the disc - the DVD playback software itself is responsible for decoding the DTS/AC3/MLP/&c.. DVD playback was simply an example I chose. For my purposes, the source could be anything - any audio-producing application. They all send PCM data to the sound card driver. Sound Forge, QuickTime, PowerDVD, Windows Media Player, foobar2000, you-name-it.
Think of it this way: I want to use the SB3 as my sound card.
