NonRealTime audio driver

Hi.

I can't find any meaningful documentation of Max's NonRealTime driver, and I'm feeling too lazy (and I'm in too much of a hurry) to experiment with stuff myself...

So, here are my questions:
- What does the "passive mode" checkbox do?
- I seem to remember (but I can't find the source) that with the NRT driver SIAI is always on, and the signal VS is always 1... is that true, or did I dream?
- Is there a way to link the scheduler time to the dsp time? (Yes, I know the dsptime~ object but I need more) - I actually hoped that this was passive mode's goal, but apparently it's not...

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

... ok, with passive mode off and SIAI on my scheduler is actually linked to the dsp time in non-real time. This makes sense... and also means that SIAI is not automatically on! - and btw it's not even true that sig vs is always 1.

Still curious about passive mode, but ok, now I've got what I immediately needed and I'm not forced to switch to Csound ;)

Cheers
