- Allows for multiplexing of audio streams, of which is
not natively supported in Microsoft Windows.
- If a user wishes to listen to music, a video game, and more, the same audio output must be selected.
- Windows programs (example: media players, video games, Internet browsers, etc.) may only choose one (1) audio output (and input).
- For example, effectively treat a video game session like music recording.
- Turnkey solution, no tedious work of opening or closing instances of VAC audio repeater.
Given:
- one (1) Gaming PC:
- to play video games.
- to run VAC Audio Repeater Manager.
- to capture of the audio/video via a broadcast/stream client.
- three (3) audio sources:
- a local microphone.
- incoming voice chat audio.
- game audio.
- Optional: a separate PC to record; one (1) Recording PC:
- cables and/or adapters to transfer audio (and video) from the Gaming PC to the Recording PC.
- to capture of the audio/video via a broadcast/stream client.
Allows:
- Specify to only listen to two of the three audio sources (incoming voice and game audio) on the Gaming PC.
- Record each source as separate audio streams on a (Gaming or separate) PC, for future audio/video editing.
- Optional: capture the audio/video via a broadcast/stream client.

Given:
- multiple incoming audio sources (instruments and microphones).
- a time-keeping audio source (a Metronome).
- the incoming/outgoing communication between audio engineer and band.
Allows:
- Listen to all sources together, but record separately.
- Record all channels from music band separately, for optimal future remastering.
- Allow for future editor(s) to mitigate unnecessary audio sources (time-keeping audio and audio engineer communication) within master recording.
- Load/Save audio stream setup to/from file.
- Configuration files
.batscript files
- Manage audio stream setup of current or other Windows machine(s).
- Start/stop audio repeaters from within the application.
- Easily automate audio stream setup given user-input and/or arguments.
A minimum of one (1) virtual audio cable (Line-In and Line-Out pair) to faciliate multiplexing.

In the scope of this project: one virtual Line-In to one or more physical Line-Out(s).
In telecommunications and computer networking, multiplexing (sometimes contracted to muxing) is a method by which multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared medium. Wikipedia
