If you are an audio software developer and need audio transport from/to other audio applications, you may be interested in a custom (proprietary) version of VAC. Such version can be built with customized names and parameters, and can be used only together with a customer's application. Custom versions have the same functionality as the common version. Customization assumes only unique names and unique key, not additional custom functionality.
Another product, Thin Audio Gateway, works differently, providing direct client audio buffer access to the customer's application via shared memory, using no intermediate buffering and/or clocking. The customer's application (a "host") acts like a hardware audio controller.
