Windows XP is even more flexible than that. Given that it virtualize the sound card, you can open the *same* sound card 
for input to more than one program, each with its own different sampling rate, and the same for output. All the 
resampling needed is done under the hood by Windows itself, sometimes with not so stellar results in terms of accuracy, 
but it works.

Don't try the same with Windows 98SE (RIP, M$oft has announced its death a few days ago), it won't work...
