I know that I'm a bit a repetitive person, but my intent is to raise an alarm, that nowadays companies cannot afford to ship, half-finished, half-baked, buggy systems, and moreover chose the vastly inferiour (pulseaudio) open source component over the better (JACK2 audio server). I reported my findings here, on the maemo-developers mailingslist, which is read by Nokia engineers too, and the only responses I get back is that I should not "whine". No technical responses at all, how the latency can be lowered using other APIs etc..
Sadly, this week Nokia stock again dropped like a rock, while Apple gets preorders for 600k Iphone 4 in a day and have trouble to process all the orders. Does that not ring alarm bell at Nokia ? As said nowadays either you deliver a smooth user experience (including dropout free, low latency audio for apps) and make it easy for developers to access that features, or your market share will continue to drop and drop. It seems like Maemo will be end of lined soon so I'm not expecting Maemo getting much improvements, but it's successor, Meego HAS to deliver a smooth user experience. I will continue those discussions on the Meego list and perform benchmarks and tests so that everyone can see what the real numbers are and if there are still problems regarding low latency audio. Unfortunately, given the weak implementation of pulseaudio I fear that the prerformance will not be stellar. I hope that I'm proved wrong Did Meego enginers publish such numbers, yet ? eg what latency can be achieved on certain hardware, audio dropout frequency etc ? Execpt for technical discussions about audio I will not continue my long diatribes on this list. But as said I will continue to point out possible flaws in Meego regarding audio backing my claims up with numbers and bencharking apps. If the hardware is capable to be responsive, there is no reason why Meego should not fully exploit it regards, Benno The LinuxSampler Project http://www.linuxsampler.org 2010/6/16 Ville M.
