-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Couple of things can affect delay. Sound cards is one thing - the jitter buffer in OpenOB is the other. By default this is 150ms, suitable for decent Internet links, and is tweaked with the -j option on the transmitter. -j 5 should be fine on fast ethernet for 5ms latency internal to OpenOB. There's nowhere else inside OpenOB itself that can add latency.
Sound cards will almost certainly make up the rest of the latency, and that's down to system config like using a low-latency kernel and small period sizes. See http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc and http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/FramesPeriods for more info there - basically, tweak period_size and periods. You may find you need a non-onboard sound card, but some onboard drivers can be fine. There's loads of info out there for low-latency Linux operation and I should really write up some of it into the OpenOB docs or a supporting site, and I will once I get some spare time. Hope that helps!
