no - probably because you dont have a full duplex soudn card.. you
should open a monitor stream to monitor all output actually :)

->  The documentation in the header file doesn't explain it very well.

its justa  choice - 8bit or 16bit basically (and a few others) ot's a
bitmask.
 
->  I could just put esd on standby and read from the dsp using low level
