They added a 'mixing driver' mode that allows simultaneous ASIO and WDM. Will have to check that out. They do note that using the new mode will increase latency a bit. While not ASIO multi-client, it may be possible to have Windows use WDM and SONAR ASIO.

Another note:
 
After installing the new driver, check your Windows Playback devices and Recording devices defaults. Mine had been changed to the new Mixing Driver (WDM). For the time being, I reset them to the internal Realtek audio devices.

Yet another note:
 
Woohoo! For those of you with the latest Kontakt v5.6 who got no audio from the standalone version with the ASIO driver and were forced to select the WASAPI driver...great news! A new driver shows up in the Kontakt Options dropdown: "US-16x08 Mixing Driver" in addition to "US-16x08 ASIO".
 
I can now get audio from the standalone Kontakt from my mains, and not have to use the internal Realtek audio.
 
Note that Kontakt reported an increase in latency from 10.x mS to 16.x mS. That's not an issue for me since I use it mostly as a previewer, but might be for some.

Just wondering, if you record with midi keyboard and soft synth, what would be the round trip latency for Tascam interface ?
