http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pulse-glitch-free.html while it offers a good discussion of timing issues related to audio, the conclusion that choosing optimal buffering metrics is "impossible" is questionable, and the "solution" offered means software authors don't really have to consider the timing issues, which means they probably won't. otoh, with a decent audio API, applications can implement "glitch-free" playback themselves. can't say that's necessarily what's going on here, but reading that objectively may give some clues on what's going on with the audio in this and other applications where the audio isn't quite right. -- [email protected] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
