Sorry for my misunderstanding. I simply thought that, since Comedi works
with RTAI and Xenomai offers similar interfaces, a Comedi port to
Xenomai was quite straight forward. It must not be so.

Unfortunately I do not have so much time to invest into this activity.
I'll simply check if the PREEMP_RT patch gives me low enough latencies,
otherwise I'll switch to use Comedi on top of RTAI (sadly, because I
prefer Xenomai and its posix api).

Thanks. Cheers,
