This is incorrect. Many, many high performance gaming applications run on the Windows platform and achieve sub=millisecond timing. There are also realtime conferencing type applications that run in the Windows environment with full duplex audio processing. For that matter, successfully playing high rate streaming video/audio requires careful alignment of the streams. It's more a matter of the huge software development effort required to do this within the Windows framework. Devoting a work-year of effort ($100K-250K) to learning to effectively work in the Windows environment may be a reasonable matter to a game developer expecting million unit sales or to a high end video conferencing application developer. However, that scale of labor is not generally available to the folks at Flex. I would imagine that, by and large, the PowerSDR development folk are not Windows multimedia extension devotees, nor do they wish to devote their lives to such an activity. In fact, PowerSDR depends on portaudio to encapsulate and hide most of the mm ickyness, and it would appear that the portaudio developers aren't interested in this either. Or, if some ham who also happens to be a game developer gets interested, we could be in luck. > So I >guess that means that the HPSDR Janus board is a LIFE SAVER and may >mean some super CW performance from the current SDR-1000 hw? >bk de ken or, just buy a second SDR as a receiver.
