Hmm, OK, I will have a look at changing it, although it is a bit of a pain because you can't stall an ISO EP and I'm using stall to indicate an error.

Is it possible to change the amount that is buffered? This is a specialised application so a custom kernel is no problem. Even a hint in the right direction would be greatly appreciated :)

OK thanks, I'll try that too.
