It measures time for switching, with my soundblaster 16 about 32 milliseconds, and tells me to make my tx delay a bit bigger. The other, I posted it, does not switsch the soundcard, but keeps it open always, thus saving time for txdelay, which may be good for pactor in case of long distance if we have to calculate light speed (the window between 2 packets is about 125 ms).
