ASIO, which is an acronym for Audio Stream Input/Output, is a (primarily) Windows-based open audio driver protocol. ASIO was developed by Steinberg (the same company responsible for the VST plug-in format). The primary goal of the ASIO protocol is to bypass the many layers of audio processing inherent in the design of Windows audio systems. By bypassing these additional layers, the speed at which the audio can be processed is decreased.
ASIO is not very commonly seen on other Operating Systems, since most major Operating Systems (other than Windows) do not suffer from the same latency issues.
