Hi Leif and all, - I would want a timestamp in there somewhere. It might be derived from block_no, but why not make it explicit ? I do not see what it would be good for. Why do you want the clock from the master while there is another one in the slave? Surely I could add this, but there

2007-06-14 Thread Joe Taylor
Leif and all, It turns out that my network speed problem had a simple cause. The computer running Linrad is connected to the LAN through a rather old 10 Mbit/s hub/repeater. Therefore it maxes out around 1.2 MByte/s, too slow for 4 channels at 96 kHz in any of Linrad's network modes except

Hi Leif, Moreover, one will almost certainly want separate screens for Linrad and MAP65 -- both of which generally use most or all of a normal-size screen. Yes, I agree - but those who have only one standard computer should know it is possible - if it really is;-) When MAP65 is available,

Hi Leif, The combination works OK, and but a significant number of packets (around 400 in each minute, or slightly more than 1% of the data) are dropped during MAP65's most compute-intensive parts of each minute. Since plrs does no significant computing, I imagine that the problem may be
