Hi All,
I'm trying to develop a custom wav player app using libao - I need to
keep the audio latency as small as possible in this project. I was
wondering if anybody has done any tests to see how latent libao is for
this, or whether I should just throw in the towel now, and move to
jack/libalsa?
Also I was wondering whether reading each sample at a time from a file
is likely to be dropping the real-time ness, or whether people have
found that this isn't really such a limiting factor.
At the moment it seems quite slow, but then I am developing in vmware-
so I guess that adds quite alot of latency!?
Tom
