How many streams did Rui's test utilize? (nine?) if multiple streams were used, then can the handling of one stream delay another stream? How are streams prioritized, and are they queued in a FIFO or in a LIFO manner? (Also, are such 'streams' directly mapped to some hardware concept on the audio card ('channel' or 'voice'?) or am i confusing things?) Ingo
