Adjusting that doesn't have any affect.  There's still a significant lag 
regardless of how I adjust that buffer.  That lag was there with arts 
before I started having problems with alsa.  There was no lag at all if 
I just used ao alsa though.  In fact it would seek so fast that the part 
I skipped to played over the part I was on so I'd hear to parts of the 
same file at the same time for a very very brief time.  It was short 
enough to not disrupt anything though, so in a way it kind of acted like 
some sort of command recognition feedback.  I know that's not how it's 
meant to work, but it was nice when transcribing, heh.
