From where do you get those "accepted definitions" ? Which ISO are you referring to?Neither of them are the accepted definition of an audio input for a DAW. The accepted definition is those physical devices.Of course it supports audio input: Soft Synths and Audio/Media Files; but no connected physical devices.
Its exactly equivalent to stating that your DAW has 'audio output' despite it only recording to a file for playback in some other software, and you never being able to listen to what the DAW is doing from inside the DAW.
Please stick to the common accepted usage of terms. Including 'virtual'.
Also; beware of Steinberg asserting trademark over the use of 'Virtual' anything that's DAW/plugin related.
I wanted to make clear, that my app can process audio data, and it even may process "audio input" as you describe it, when I support the use of an USB-microphone, which may be implemented at some stage.
There is no registered trademark "virtualdaw" and no company with that name. And the Steinberg trademark is "VST®", which means "Virtual Studio Technology (VST)". The "Steinberg VST usage guidelines" explain, how to use the trademark in an app and on a website. My app will use VST3 plugins and I have signed the license agreement with them.
From where do you get that information, that they could assert "anything" related to the word "virtual" ? The trademark VST® is not the same as if you use the word "virtual".
