I've been researching this for sometime now and from my understanding a lot of people are having problems getting "What U Hear" to actually work correctly. Basically, for Creative Lab sound card users it's called "What U Hear" for other cards it can read as "Sound Mixer", etc. But the gist is the same, it's recognized by Vista/Win 7 but disabled/unavailable. There is one particular program that offers a true kernel mode driver that restores the capability to do direct recordings. Once the program is installed upon reboot "What U Hear" actually does become "Ready" instead of "Unavailable". However, the issue I found is that it forces you to use "What U Hear" as the default while disabling (making unavailable) all the other sound options. So, if you had a mic that was working fine without making it default it will now become disabled/unavailable once you use that program.
The purpose of "What U Hear" allows the user to record the sound reproduced by the speakers/headphone. This is where I see this as an opportunity for SS. I see this as an opportunity for your organization/company to add another program to your suite. If you know how to unlock this feature so that any sound card capable can record then people will buy it IMO. You can call it AnySound or whatever you like but the gist of it is simple, it would unlock "What U Hear"/"Sound Mixer" for those sound cards capable of using it.
Does this sound interesting?
