Cannot work, because the cards run at different rates. Thus if one card is running at 44100 and the other at 44010, by a minute, then will be 1/10 of a second apart, and 36000 bytes apart. After an hour, they will be about 5 sec apart, so the buffers on one are overflowing if you keep up with the faster one. > > Thanks. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
