The MS command set instructions for Windows 7 and Vista are different to XP and 2000 so I wouldn't expect them to work. The Vista drivers may, but they may not - depending upon what new more unnecessary changes MS have made.

No one is going to be paying MS thousands for the Win 7 command sets until AFTER it goes live, so I'll be surprised if you find any.

best places to try are the people who make the chip / card and MS.

by who am i really

MS doesn't want people using their systems for recording, that's why they removed the ability to use hardware accelerated audio cards with vista & higher
- by moving the audio stack out of the kernel into user space you can't use that nice DSP audio card as all audio processing must now be done by the CPU and not on the audio hardware.

if M-Audio etc. decide to write updated drivers for vista / 7 etc. they will still be forced to reduce the functionality of the audio card to basic AD/DA conversion and all effects processing etc. done in the CPU and not on the card itself
