Thank you for your answer, but I don't think you read/understood my 
question?

The Zaptel driver uses a 8 byte buffer for buffering G.711 in each 
direction. This has nothing to do with the sample rate, but how large 
packets you can buffer the voice for to be transported through the PCI 
interface. I get the impression that the Digium boards are limited to 8 
bytes (1 ms ) by reading the zaptel driver. But, I don't know this cause 
I have no hardware manual that cover the PCI interface. I was hoping 
that the Sangoma boards offered a more variable buffer size???
