Latency is the delay between giving the order to play a sound and the |
| 22 |
sound actually being played. It's usually around 30ms here with |
| 23 |
ALSA/dmix, and around 10ms with OSS/vmix. It's not funny trying to play |
| 24 |
something in a software synth with a keyboard when having a 30ms latency. |
