Plexamp for windows v3.0 just needs WASAPI now and I can finally stop using Foobar.

The Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) is Microsoft’s most modern method for talking with audio devices. It is available in Windows Vista, Windows 7, and later versions of Windows. It allows delivering an unmodified bitstream to a sound device, and provides benefits similar to those provided by ASIO drivers. One of the other main benefits of WASAPI is that it provides applications with exclusive access to audio devices, bypassing the system mixer, default settings, and typically any effects provided by the audio driver. WASAPI is the recommended Audio Output Mode for Windows unless your audio device has a well-behaved ASIO driver, and it effectively replaces all legacy output modes including Kernel Streaming and Direct Sound.

Nice. Not sure if this can be incorporated as the developers are using React to write the application and allows them to have 5 or more deployment platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android). There are ways to incorporate platform specific code, but no idea this is in the works. Good idea.
