Well, it depends on how it's doing it. The only thing I could figure out how to do on the software I downloaded was real-time analysis of something playing on my PC. This, of necessity, would included the basic noise and distortion built into my PC's audio system.
No it wouldn't. It's analysing the digital code being streamed from the soundfile. Unless it is doing something very unusual there is no way the audio system inside your PC (which does everything from DA conversion onwards, but nothing before it) could have any influence on the analysis.
How else would you analyse a sound file than in realtime? You cannot make a frequency analyis without playing the file, since there are no frequencies actually recorded in the file, all that is recorded is many, many, many snapshots of the soundwave. Any of these snapshots only gives the coordinates for a single point of the curve.
Frequencies only come into play when the soundfile is played back or otherwise analysed with respect to time.
Whatever the software is doing it is definitely dealing with the digital data, not with any analogue translation of it.
