Hello all!

As nowadays there are even Virtual PC, VMWare
and several others to simulate a whole PC,
there must be single virtual device drivers
for single devices, such as almost everyone
knows about virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives
or RAM disk, which is nothing else than a
virtual hard drive.

I can't find virtual image scanner or virtual sound
card devices. For me as a developer it would be
nice to test somthing like eg WIA automation
(Windows Image Aqcuisition) or sound output
on such virtual devices.

For example to not fiddle with the errors my
special sound card or scanner may have but
test it on some generic device. Or to still hear
music while programming a sound card and
being able to still verify, if the soundcard would
actually play what I intended. Perhaps even
capture the digital output a soundcard would
send out via D/A converter or digital line out.

I could perhaps do all this on aVMWare machine,
but I don't like the degradation of speed, I would
like to just have a/some single virtual devices.

Is there something for me out there?

Bye, Olaf.
