Yeah, thought about it. And I said that it will never be sample-accurate. And 
your solution with netjack will _never_ be sample accurate as you do 
resampling to overcome the inaccuracy...

It might be a solution (apart from that fiddling around with -t and -m and the 
possible unstable delays). And will it be stable if I tune my system at home 
and then at live forget half the important tweaks I did at home? (I did spent 
an (live) afternoon complaining about instability only to find that the wlan 
on the same irq was causing the problems.)

Have fun,

Arnold
