Virtual Audio Cable software allows you to transfer audio (wave) streams
between applications and/or devices.

It creates a set of virtual audio devices named "Virtual Cables", each of
them consists of a pair of the waveform input/output devices. Any
application can send audio stream to an output side of a cable, and any
other application can receive this stream from an input side. All transfers
are made digitally, providing NO sound quality loss (a bitperfect
streaming).

VAC behavior is similar to "What You Hear" (or "What U Hear", "Stereo Mix")
feature of Sound Blaster Live! and Audigy cards. But it is only similar,
not equivalent. If you simply need a function like "Stereo Mix" under
Vista/Win7, there could be better to try to enable it in your audio
adapter.

If more than one applications are sending audio to Virtual Cable device,
VAC mixes all streams together. If more than one applications are receiving
audio from Virtual Cable device, VAC distributes the same audio data among
all targets.

VAC is useful to record application's audio output in real time (audio
player, instant messenger or software synthesizer), or transfer a sound
stream to another application processing it. You can, for example, use two
or more software audio players/generators/synthesizers/sequencers to
produce audio streams, sending them to Virtual Cablet device and record a
mixed stream from the same Virtual Cable device, using any recording
software - Windows Sound Recorder, Audacity, Sound Forge, WaveLab, Adobe
Audition (formerly Cool Edit Pro), Gold Wave, Cakewalk/Sonar, Cubase/Nuendo
etc.

With an ASIO wrapper like ASIO4ALL from Michael Tippach, you can use VAC in
ASIO supporting applications.

If you use an audio encoder application that encodes a stream coming from a
sound card, you can use VAC to supply such encoder with a stream produced
by other application.

You can use VAC to capture an output sound stream from the application that
doesn't allow to write it into WAV file directly. Unlike Total Recorder
allowing you to simply save audio stream, VAC allows to route it in real
time.

If you are using some Voice Over IP (VoIP) and/or Internet Telephony
applications like Skype, you can use VAC to record your calls and
conversations.

VAC needs no hardware audio card; it is a "virtual audio card" itself.
