Yes, it makes sense. I measured the time it takes for my function to input
data(256 samples). It takes around 16 ms whereas it should be taking like ~6
ms. I do not know why that is the case. This is only true with USB. With the
laptop's default audio card it takes ~6 ms.
The data comes from the USB's audio capture pin. I have connected a MP3
player to the stereo input of my USB audio device....that's where the input
data comes from.
May be the input takes more time because USB operation is slow...is that a
possibility?
Thanks for your help,
Pallavi
