The fact that a soundcard-based Pactor implementation works poorly
on a PC running Windows in no way justifies your claim that "a
soundcard will not work". As I've already pointed out, the reason
that a soundcard-based Pactor implementation on Windows would work
poorly (for Pactor 1) or not-at-all (for Pactor 2 and 3) is because
Windows is not a realtime operating system, not because of anything
having to do with the use of a soundcard for A/D and D/A.
If you plan to further defend your position, please provide the
technical specifics as to why "a soundcard will not work" in a
Pactor implementation based on a PC running a realtime operating
system.
