Hi Hermann,
Ah-Hah! So that's it!
I can't tell you how much time I have spent trying to track this fault down!
Very many thanks, Hermann. I am most grateful.
Best Regards,
Timf
P.S.
Should I send in a patch for this?
I am very close to having a patch ready for Avermedia A16D, Avermedia
E506 (both xc2028-saa7134).
