Thanks for the info. I reckon it would be quite an undertaking to sync audio devices over (different) network connections -- especially on wifi, as in my case --, I just wondered if changing the buffer size would make a difference. Anyhow that isn't really important (and if it were, I'd get wireless speakers or something like that), I'm more than happy as it is. Thanks for the great work, Alexandre.
