This would be useful for remote control. It would also be useful on a
local PC if you wanted to keep your sound card free for some other use
(I ended up with a RigExpert interface because of this) but I can't
see data mode programs like MixW rushing to support such a facility.
The Icom 756Pro has had a RTTY decode facility for years but I have no
idea if the decoded data is accessible by external software.
