[1] makes me believe that on Windows JACK doesn't really belong in the list. As great as JACK is on Linux, on Windows its power is limited to applications with native JACK support or applications and drivers with ASIO support.

What I expect from a virtual cable is to allow me to connect any source with any sink and that is what solutions provide.

The same is true for JACK on Linux, too. (On Linux you could use PipeWire though, which can route audio to/from both PulseAudio and JACK apps, but it isn‘t JACK proper.)

> or applications and drivers with ASIO support

I guess it should be okay to assume all professional apps do support ASIO (and some support JACK natively)?

You can set up routing between PulseAudio an JACK manually, with pulseaudio-jack.
