I'd prefer 'input to output latency' since 'latency' is such a widely
accepted term.
However, there is a _lot_ of confusion...
Benno's latency program clearly deals with a one-shot latency from process
to audio out.
[oops... I'm not on alsa-devel here... Different lists, same people...]
Could we safely assume that the iolatency is two times the one shot latency
with two threads, one for audio in and one for audio out ? Any sync issues ?
BTW, I'M POSTING THIS TO ALSA-DEVEL just to make sure latency-aware people
read the post...
How many of you are NOT subscribed to linux-audio-dev ????
