The real difference between the two methods is 'sample count' versus 'time' as the source of the event that starts a period. I always wondered why one would use a timer, it just amounts to polling. Suppose you look every 1 ms to check if there are enough samples for a period. That means you can be up to 1 ms late. Compare that to the period time of 1.33 ms when using 64 samples / 48 kHz. Up to 3/4 of the available time to compute a period could be lost... Or am I missing something ?
