Not resolutely. With this module, in the beginning of packet streaming, 
the unit can generate sound for quite a short period.

Currently I have a hypothesis that this issue comes from missing 
synchronization on a path between PDI 1394L21BE and QuickLogic DA828FW. 
As the name implies, the latter IC is designed by S&S research Inc. just 
for this unit, and there's less information.

Don't behave with your over-generalization, if being a reasonable person.
