I doubt it, but I couldn't be sure without breaking out some test
equipment :-P It can probably be minimised with the tumbler's filtering
(at least I'm guessing so, not having written the code yet to find out
:-P), which is why I'm going to try to reproduce it here while working on
the driver.
FWIW, I'm planning on writing up a quick web page for the driver until
it's not in flux so much (so that people can test the things that I'm
working on, if they'd like...I don't know about you guys, but having audio
on my laptop is important to my sanity and I'm sure others are like me
:-P).
