I've quite a lot of thunking as part of my normal work, and it does take a fair hit if called frequently. We managed to get away with it for some 1284 comms by reducing the number of calls, and using bigger blocks. We'd need to call it at 50Hz for the sound which would be a big dent in performance - it'd be nice to see it working as a starting point tho. > Secondly, this probably won't work under NT. Indeed, flat thunking (32-bit to 16-bit) isn't supported, even if it will let you run it. > Thirdly... just ... ugh! :) :-) Si
