as logic did some versions ago, i thin k sonar  would need a rewrite and i would welcome it even if it took 2 years in the meantime they could still do updates to the current code program . just to keep people on board while the rewrite was going on. i bet they could get in their and really kick some butt with a full rewrite.  

sorry for the funky typing im on my phone

Thanks for asking the question.. I too was wondering what gapless audio meant.

While were at it, and since it's likely related, we can also take care of weird quirks like starting from now time zero being off, and audio files in the first playback of an open project sounding out of time. :P

One at a time candlesayshi..... Lets try and get gapless first.

The only DAW that falls over quicker for me when new VSTs are inserted is Sony Acid, and that program is on it's deathbed. I've got a feeling making Sonar gapless is massively difficult, otherwise they would have done it already.

Ableton does it best of all and is about 10 years old.

I just wanted to add that my audio-engine works perfect now after SONAR X1 Expanded "C"+ Quickfixs update. 
LOOPING or nonLOOPING without any gaps of AUDIO. Also changing channels route destination "during playback" works too without any gaps of AUDIO.

I thought that being "less gapless" meant that the DAW has to look ahead enough to continue smooth playback while we are changing things in real time.  In other DAWs, in a 64 bit environment, is it possible that the playback is not always the highest quality while the program looks ahead?  I thought I read somewhere that Cakewalk prefers the quality of audio as most important.  Perhaps that is why they are where they are today?

That's nice but Sonar is not gapless.
