If you have a single Asio soundcard (one with a real Asio driver, not
asio4all) you should use Asio, because it bypassed all windows
software layers for direct access to the hardware, offering the best
latency.
If we assume that only a minority of users have such a device, we can
consider to change the default API.
Troubles begin when a user has an ASIO-only device and a WDM-only
device. (such as an ASIO-only controller with integrated sound and the
internal soundcard.
Using both needs a additionnal layer like ASIO4ALL.
Considering most sound cards today, including the ones built into
controllers, are USB audio class compliant, this would rarely be the
case. So I think we should default to WDM-KS and advise to use ASIO if
using a 4 output sound card that has an ASIO driver from the manufacturer.
