Back in the days when I continued Holger's work, I implemented that muxpack stuff. It worked very fine, and i was even able to stream two video services at once (as long as they are below 90%*11Mbit-muxpack_overhead). This was back on kernel 2.4. I didn't touched the driver since then, but started using it some time ago with 2.6, and had these problems as well, using same hardware. ISO transfers are fine (in my eyes). (The only problem is that the bandwidth is totally static, so the muxstream will be stuffed when there's less.) I'm not sure what changed since then, maybe something with the ISO urb scheduling goes wrong, i'm not that familiar with the linux usb stuff (anymore). Another thing i could think of would be the DSP's firmware. Iirc it was uploaded when the driver is loaded, is that still the case? But it's definitely not a hardware problem. Felix
