Date: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 11:03:15 +0000 Message-ID: <4746B373.5000009@btinternet.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-hams-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: LINUX-HAMS I would be interested to hear from any other ham who is experienced in writing low-level code for any of the sound-cards commonly found in a PC. Most of the stuff I have seen is for a Microsoft environment, which I no longer have. I now run Debian GNU/LINUX 4.0, and would be interested in writing an IQ demodulator for SDR. Can the erratic timing of a multi-task system be overcome, perhaps by altering "nice" numbers ? This is an area of programming where my experience is poor. I have in the past used a Motorola DSP card, but that was in my M$ days more than six years ago. 73 Geoff G3FHL
