There's no documentation! you should really look at the audio driver I wrote and its documentation, which should really be helpful. In a few days I will also provide a manual for the API I am developing in parallel with the old voxware one; as you will see there is much more support for synchronization, which is what you need for your type of apps. Plus, my driver supports multiple cards of the same type (if they are distinguishable; there are some unnamed PnP cards which have the same vendor id and serial number thus being undistinguishable at the PnP level...).
