In a word, "yes". The next three paragraphs can be ignored, they're just rationalization... skip to the bottom paragraph for the real content. Likely not for you or anyone else, but the ability to solve this type of problem is exactly why I use open source. With a closed source product, I would have two options: reconfigure my entire system to meet the restrictions placed on it by one program that I want to use, or stop using the program. Because FreeDV is open source, I have another option, spend a few hours doing something I enjoy (ie: programming) and in the end, have something that doesn't have a restriction that impacts me. If one or two other people benefit from it, good for them, but I get something which measurably better meets my needs in exchange for me having fun with two of my hobbies simultaneously. Anyway, I don't mean to preach to the choir about open source. It's enough for me that the only two options I'm seriously considering are fixing my problem or not using FreeDV, and since I will enjoy playing radio and programming at the same time, I'll fix it whether it's a good use of my time or not. :-) > I wrote to Portaudio code some 18 months ago, but can't recall why we > chose two full duplex streams.

Easier to keep a working design than try to test all possible corner cases of one that already works for everyone.
