Comment (by axeld):

 Replying to [comment:19 fano]:
 > I not agree to remove RealTime AudioVideo, now they are not implemented
 but they make sense: for example suppose Haiku used as a hybrid
 MediaCenter OS, I play a file and contemporary there is Web+ with 360 tab
 opened in background... I don't want audio or video to skip because Web+
 wants to refresh a page that I not see... so the AV is in "realtime" and
 I'm safe.

 That's actually not what the "realtime" setting is about; what you
 describe should never happen in any mode. The setting is intended to
 shorten the buffer size used internally - this would make skipping
 actually more likely, if the priorities aren't right, or other bugs are
 left in the code. This needs more CPU resources as buffers are swapped
 more often (and hence is an optional setting. This can be used if you
 really need low latency audio/video; you don't need this for simple
 playback at all.
