This mode is now "I=SOUNDCARD TEST MODE" to distinguish from
the test mode for analog hardware (the WSE converters)

Yes. After selecting the parameters you come to a test screen
which gives the timing of your selection. There is one
after the first parameter screen and it gives the fft1 timing.

There is another test screen after the fft2 parameter screen
(if fft2 is enabled) where you can again see the timing of
fft1 and also the timing of the reverse fft1 and the fft2.
