the posix acronym is AIO. I don't think is worth discussing too much the name as asio is lowercase and is also a name in the boost context so the potential for confusion is very limited. Another idea would be to drop the s and use "aio" lowercase. On 4/26/06, Olaf van der Spek <olafvdspek@gmail.com> wrote:

This library's name should be changed as it will lead to confusion. There is already an audio i/o library called ASIO which has been in use for years in audio applications and supported by many software vendors and hardware manufacturers.

Both of the links you give describe ASIO as a "protocol" or "interface", not a C++ library. There are plenty of examples in computing where similar names are used in different domains, without difficulties.
Also, asio is not an acronym
