What about this interpretation: So the question is when has the device an immediate need for data ? This is the case when the buffer of the device is empty. If this condition is met, the device has to ignore a given timeout and return immediate. If buffer empty condition is not satisfied, device has to sleep when timout is not zero. -- Stefan Lucke
