Mhmm, yes rather.

If you have enough space for them, it´s easier.

Only in ADA mode, right ?
As always, standard answer no. 1, a driver problem.

Which version of pd do you use ? Have all versions the same problem ?

After taking a look at Millers Linux version (0.25TEST4) (shame on me I havn´t
done yet ..),
I will try to add profiling, and some basic blocking non-blocking switches to
the makefile.
The problem is, unless I don´t have the card, I can´t do anything about it,
because
on other card/driver combinations it works.

But, hey I guess Miller has the same card, so you could probably team up :)

Luckily (?), you can´t look at the source of OSS/commercial :)
