--- Comment #27 from Rafał Mużyło galtgendo@o2.pl 2009-11-18 04:30:19 --- So, I'll put it in simple terms: IMHO, this starts looking just like winealsa case did: "snd_pcm_delay may reach zero, but doesn't ever have to". Here, it's "DUCET may give you good results for string *sorting*, but by no means it has to".
IOW, wrong assumption.
