VSTHost: How to configure "wave devices" without latency/delay problems?
I have this physical connections:

"phones out" "line in"
Guitar -----> Amp -----------------------------> Computer

And I was using Windows 7 with the following settings:

Playback devices --> Recording --> Line In --> Properties --> "Listen to this device" is UNCHECKED

Playback devices --> Playback --> Speakers --> Properties --> Line In: 100% (un-muted)

Those settings work awesome: I get 0 delay.
If I use the "Listen to this device" option instead, I get a delay of ~1000ms (horrible)

With that said, I wanted to put real time effects to the "Line-In", so I downloaded VSTHost and used this settings:

Windows settings:
-----------------

"Listen to this device" continues UNCHECKED

Playback devices --> Playback --> Speakers --> Properties --> Line In: now is muted

VSTHost settings:
-----------------

Devices > Wave devices >
Input port: DS Line in
Output port: MME Microsoft Sound Mapper

But then I got the same delay as the one with "listen to this device" checked

Question: What am I doing wrong? how can I achieve the same zero delay but with VSTHost instead of Windows?
