I'm not sure either latency or RT is proper terminology here. But
I believe what I meant was clear: when you need overall latency
to be around 5ms you start to notice 9P.
It sounds like you have a specific app in mind, and a real-time
one at that. If you're using your audio device for live audio
(ie. adding effects to audio from your guitar)
you need pretty small latency. You can go a bit higher than
5ms without noticing, though.
Not so much a special application (although I was doing VJing
at the time) but rather [multitrack] recording.
Most apps dont require realtime. For example, streaming a song.
You dont care if the samples show up at year ear 2seconds
after they were sent from your hard drive, so long as all the
samples are delayed by the same amount.. You can stream this
clear across the country over all kinds of cut rate ISPs and
still get satisfactory results with enough buffering..
Sure. But if all you're aiming at with this thread is a driver that
supports simple audio playback, I guess I misread the subject
line.
