not generally. i.e. the pinnacle/fiji way is to map a piece of memory into the pc's memory space. thus an application using alsa-mmap can write (or read) directly into the cards pcm-memory. pretty efficiently, don't you think? (except that its ISA-memory) (it can do so with 2 or 3 periods per buffer). I don't see any drawback here caused by the lack of DMA. regards, Karsten __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
