No it not a mistake
Here the diff is NT4 & Win98 base off LEGACY DRV
But Win2000 is diff set of drv call WDM (Windows Driver Model).
From what i was told.
1: Win2k DX7 is not support at this time,
so no Communication is made to Kernel CSA Library,
WDM CODEC Class Device Drv.
2: This where LW4 come in so I was told I guest we have wait
& see, anyway the LW4 is for WinME & Win2000.

I didn't understand much of number 1, is he saying CL don't properly support DX7 accelleration in win2k?

It wouldn't be suprising. These are Creative drivers after all. Anyways with the Liveware 3 drivers on NT5 all of my games have hardware acceleration, EAX 2, and are running fine and dandy.

AC3 Passthrough? You mean if CL correctly developed their drivers to support win2k's DX7 in the correct way, they would be able to make AC3 passthrough possible?
