Yes, the data format is supported by my USB.
I think I understand what you mean by data starving and that is what is
happening in my case. I am not sending multiple buffers. I do not have any
timer callbacks. I don't know much about them!
I will try and figure out how to do this timer stuff. So I need a timer
callback to tell my output device that the data is ready to be sent?
Thanks a lot for pointing it out.

Pallavi
