Topic: Do RME drivers support "kAsioOverload" messages?

REAPER has support to show hardware underruns. Do RME drivers have this ("kAsioOverload" messages) implemented?

Not all devices support the optional ASIO "kAsioOverload" message. 

REAPER knows when there is a processing underrun and flashes the transport red.  There could theoretically be some hardware overload that isn't associated with a processing underrun, which some hardware can report, and REAPER can optionally flash the transport yellow on those messages.

kAsioOverload was supported in our HDSP drivers a long time ago. It worked with Samplitude, and maybe Samplitude only. It needs support in our hardware (!) and driver for this special function, but still was not 100% reliable. So it died for several reasons, and is now no longer present in our current drivers and hardware.
