Clemens, You don't want to be reading chip registers all the time. It's *very* expensive. Cache any values that don't change in a local struct if they get referenced regularly. You might find the mmio_test results interesting. It would be great if you could add one or two audio devices to mmio_test program here: svn co http://svn.gnumonks.org/trunk/mmio_test/ Please send a patch to Harald Welte . thanks, grant ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf
