[WriteLog] Writelog recording levels

[Gary AL9A]

Wayne,

As a Vista user I have mixed emotions about the coming change to WriteLog. 
It will be great to get more control over the audio in Vista, but I hate to 
lose the "Echo Microphone" capability of recording both TX and RX from a 
single sound board.  I use the microHAM microkeyer II and it has been great. 
If I need two sound boards to record both the TX and RX I hope the WL Sound 
Board Mixer will be able to use both the on board sound chip in my Dell 
laptop and the sound card in the MKII.  Perhaps Joe could chime in and 
advise if this configuration is possible with the microHAM router and MKII.

73,
Gary AL9A
