OK, I've never encountered that.  The use case I'm coding for (OLPC)
doesn't involve a whole lot of format changes; generally they pick a
format for their record activity based on what works best on the display
side and stick with it.

I wanted a way to know whether DMA was active or not; the idea was that an
SOF indicates that things are starting, EOF says that it's done.  Are you
saying that there can be DMA active in the period after an EOF when the
subsequent SOF has not been received?
