yes, i know i'll have to try that. ;)

you can even go down to 2 frames/cycle but obviously everything below 64
is not really practical with my single-cpu 450 MHz system. 16 can run
in perfect sync for a few seconds until the kernel in one of its ignorant
moods decides to block the audio thread for a while :(

however i have discovered that with this card, there is a weird 
high-frequency oscillation in the analog output signal that is just
faintestly audible if you crank up the volume real high at 64 f/c and gets
louder (but _not_ higher) if you go to lower f/c settings. makes me sigh. 
any ideas what may be causing this?
