Think about the transmit path.

Simplest possible test case:

  Software sine wave generator talking to transmit hardware.  There is
  nothing throttling the signal generator.  It will produce an
  infinite amount of data as quickly as it can.  You want the DAC
  clock to control pacing.  Any kind of host based pacing will lead to
  trouble (under or overruns).
