Thanks for the suggestion. I tried below snippet 1 with the shortest pointer
name but 80 characters is exceeded. The declaration and initialisation
will have to be splitted. Will this be acceptable or am I doing it wrong
again?

Sorry for the trouble.

Snippet 1:
[ Snip ]

			/* output the last scan */
			for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
				unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
				unsigned short *p = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];

				if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, p, 1)) {
					/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
					async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
					goto underrun;
				}
			}
			/* advance time of last scan */

[ Snip ]

Snippet 2:
[ Snip ]

			/* output the last scan */
			for (i = 0; i < cmd->scan_end_arg; i++) {
				unsigned int chan = CR_CHAN(cmd->chanlist[i]);
				unsigned short *pd;

				pd = &devpriv->ao_loopbacks[chan];

				if (!comedi_buf_read_samples(s, pd, 1)) {
					/* unexpected underrun! (cancelled?) */
					async->events |= COMEDI_CB_OVERFLOW;
					goto underrun;
				}
			}

[ Snip ]

Thks.
