In practice I get more latency because data passes sockets twice and lots of processing before it comes to ears of listener. Usually there are at least three separate computers (input, processing, ui). There is even more latency if processing is done using MPI cluster. Only latency sensitive program I made is rtEq where biggest latency source is FFT size (usually 75% overlap and 8192 point FFT). Here are some block sizes reported by the OSS driver: Open /dev/dsp9: ch 2 fs 44100 fmt 10h frag 512 bytes Open /dev/dsp9: ch 8 fs 96000 fmt 1000h frag 2048 bytes So that's not the biggest latency source, I think. - Jussi Laako -- PGP key fingerprint: 161D 6FED 6A92 39E2 EB5B 39DD A4DE 63EB C216 1E4B Available at PGP keyservers
