Yes, that'll be the problem. I recorded some output of pd digitally, and I
can confirm endianess is not a problem. My previous remark about stability
was based on the assumption that it was an endianess-problem.

Right, that helps in some cases.

I guess this 126-samples buffer is specific for the vxPocket?

What I notice that on one PC the ASIO direct sound driver warns that
it cannot do full-duplex, and the ASIO multimedia configuration test
dialog pops up, when I start PD.

I'm afraid pd-asio is not using the native asio driver, but the
directsound or mme wrapper. Where can I change this?

Do you get it to work stable on your vxPocket?

thanks,
