I meant the kernel streaming buffers that I am handing to usbaudio.sys
through IOCTL_KS_WRITE_STREAM.
Yah, I know I can't overwrite them. The problem is that the playback(render)
takes much longer than the capture operation. Hence the overwriting issue. I
wanted to speed up the playback operation by using DMA buffers, but that is
already in place looks like!
Anyways, thanks a lot for replying.
