So I came up with a cool idea for a 15 minute mashup mix.  The tracklist would be as follows:

1. Queen - Another One Bites the Dust (Personal Edit) vs. Gwen Stefani - Hollaback Girl (Acapella)
2. Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (Oakenfold Mix)
3. Fischerspooner - Emerge (Junkie XL Mix)
4. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nick Warren House Mix)

Unfortunately, Queen is simply far too slow for every other song in the list (except the acapella).  Speeding it up to match the others would be an option except that Gwen Stefani already sounds kind of unnatural even when she's at the correct pitch.  I'm going to need to play with this, or else find some other bass heavy song to go behind Hollaback Girl that I can sample small instrumental clips from.

And it looks like it's not the vinyl control in djDecks that's causing the skipping.  If I switch to DirectSound instead of the ASIO drivers then there's no skipping at all, but the minute I turn the ASIO back on then my mixes sound like a toddler with muscle spasms is at the controls.  This is not good >:(  I also can't change the ASIO buffer latency, it simply refuses to switch from 50ms.  I wonder if I need to reinstall my Audigy2 drivers?

I assume you've tried the kx drivers?

I gave them a try before and was turned off by the crazy routing screen. I also screwed up and couldn't figure out how to enable and kind of line-in, which defeated the purpose of using them.

I definitely found it confusing at first!
There's a few tutorials for the DSP screen around. It's certainly possible to:
1. get a Line In into the kx system
2. expose it as an ASIO source
3. buzz-effect the crap out of it.
4. pipe it back into kx via ASIO adapter

But yeah, I'd definitely give reinstalling your audigy2 drivers another shot.

I reinstalled my drivers with no difference. However, I was able to pump out several hours of non-skipping music today by closing just about every other process running.
