Query regarding Focusrite Saffire Pro 10

I've had an enquiry from a prospective user who has a Focusrite Saffire Pro 10. This particular model may be obsolete as it doesn't appear on the Focusrite web site. However, there are several Saffire Pro devices available so I guess they're all fairly compatible regarding software drivers and interfaces.

Could someone who has a Saffire Pro tell me if the Windows 7 WDM driver supports all the Saffire outputs? I ask this because M-Audio seem to require you to use ASIO if you want more than two outputs, and I don't know if Focusrite has a similar restriction.

I use the Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 which I think might have replaced the Saffire. I haven't experimented a lot with the Win7 WDM drivers, but in my limited trials I only see see a Line In and Out (each stereo). The only way to get multiple stereo outputs is using ASIO which brings in a new set of problems, mostly related to sound buffering.
