What are you tying to achieve. A complete active digital speaker
system or a some type of tooling for developing crossovers ?

I've done some sound card programming under Windows using MAPI and all
in C. Its kind of horrible stuff to learn, and I wouldn't like to try
it on multiple sound cards. Stick with the DSP board, that way you
fill your heard with a lot more useful stuff.

I'm interested in how you plan to design the crossovers.  Will you
measure the frequency response of each individual driver and synthesis
an FIR to obtain a flat frequency response transition between the two
drivers ?
