[Aggarwal, Anuj] I am still surprised how this could be a NFS writeout issue
as we are seeing a consistent read/write rate of 2Mbps over tftp. When dd
command is used for read/write to further check NFS performance, 2Mbps for write and 4Mbps for read is observed.
Does that still mean nfs is the culprit? What could be tweaked in audio/network driver to avoid this problem, any suggestions?

[Aggarwal, Anuj] Any other utility to try capture which does error 
recovering too?
