Hi, thank you, that clarifies things. I am happy with the patch itself, but could I ask you to do two things: 1. Edit the commit description making clear that the difference between the base clock rate and the line speed. 2. Mark the patch specially to NOT be included in stable. We may have users misusing the current API. Regards Oliver
