I'm using music software and hardware since a long time now, I have used lots of external, internal, firewire, USB, ASIO audio interfaces, etc. Software and hardware have evolved a lot in the past decade. But why is there in 2014 still no easy solution for low latency?

Here is a recap of the 2 main solutions for audio devices :
* ASIO4ALL : ok this is a good solution for low latency, BUT, then you cannot open a browser with Youtube, listen to some track outside of Live anymore : ASIO4ALL is NOT multiclient : if Ableton Live uses ASIO4ALL, then no other software can play audio
* MME/DirectX : then the latency is poor.
What are the possible solutions ? Where could it come from ?
* Microsoft in a future version of Windows? I don't wait anymore

* Manufacturers who do the drivers for audio chip
* ASIO4ALL : a future version which would be multiclient ? (ie possible to use AbletonLive and another soft (example:Soundforge) at the same time?
Any ideas are welcome.
