Hi Fred, Thanks for the explanation, the file sharing / locking thing does make sense for why this would be problematic and why any patches would not be in mainstream.
However with the new way that things work under 2.x, what about the idea of being able to set up the Windows box to use CAE and rdxport running on a Linux box for playout? Then (at least if my understanding is correct) all the audio playout would run through a Linux box and Windows would just essentially be the GUI. The same way that in rdadmin --> Manage hosts you can set a Linux host to use CAE / Playout on a different host. Would that overcome the "sharing violation" issue, or would that still be a problem? For it to work you'd then have to either run audio cables from your Linux box or transport the audio from the Linux box to the windows workstation in another manner (I could actually see potentially using Netjack for this). But this is not any different from using CAE running on a different host in a Linux system. I don't know if it would work, but it might be able to offer the ability to at least preview the audio.
