No, it would require an extension of some kind to the api.  Well, I 
suppose it could be worked into the memory-mapping support (which needs 
some work to support output properly).  The idea would be to resize 
comedi's buffer to the desired size, memory map it, write your waveform(s) 
to the memory mapped buffer, disable buffer underrun detection (which 
isn't possible at present) then go.
