I guess you are talking about my CD-DA reader called "tosha"
(http://www.heim3.tu-clausthal.de/~olli/tosha/).  I am well
aware that it doesn't perform jitter correction at all.
There are several reasons for that:

 - I don't have access to any CD-ROM drive that requires
   jitter correction.
 - My own CD-ROM drive doesn't work at all with jitter
   correction (for example, using the CDDA under DOS, I have
   to turn jitter correction off to get it working correctly).
 - It is my understanding that all newer CD-ROM drives do not
   require jitter correction.  This is especially true for
   SCSI drives (tosha does not support IDE drives).

Because of those reasons, I didn't take the trouble to
implement jitter correction.
