Yes, in general, it works rather well.

I suggest that you try and report your findings here for others to see.
You might get lucky that someone can confirm this for you.

No, this is not true. There is talk about a new iso api that could

for the library especially the control protocol. It is easier to manage
the protcol in userspace than in kernel code anyway.
