no, thats not true. the system clock does not run in sync with the sample clock. the drift in this would become noticeable in a few minutes. the only time to run an audio app is ASAP after the interrupt from the device is recieved (assuming minimum latency; there is a more involved, but still interrupt-driven deadline with non-minimal latency). --p ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
