You said that you use a dedicated box for the processing, so using the
default sound server doesn't sound like a hard requirement. In that case
I recommend using JACK, it's designed for this kind of use cases.

Thanks

Too bad. Using PA is convenient, as it's already integrated into most distros. And I am apparently misinterpreting the PA claim "Good low latency behaviour" -- but I guess that this depending on the definition of low latency...

Dedicated box means that this PC is a prototype for some real-world HW DSP device which the software will later be moved to. Working on a linux application clearly helps development, debugging and observability.

Perhaps it's best to approach ALSA directly for the lowest latency. Have I understood it correctly that PA emulates ALSA, so I need to disable PA for that particular sound device before I can access it directly?

OOI: What use has the synchronize stream argument in stream playback?
