So it's immediatly the schedualer? While it is looking more likely, I still wouldn't make worst case assumptions. The problems with audio are almost always driver related. If I read right, the OSS most covers the generic chipsets, not all the differences each card might have. These small changes can cause things to not work. This is why you usually have vendor specific drivers for windows and mac.On Fri, Nov 06, 2009 at 10:21:32AM -0800, Urias McCullough wrote:On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 8:51 AM, Patrick Kelly <kameo76890@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:On Nov 6, 2009, at 11:37, Michael Oliveira <michaelvoliveira@xxxxxxxxxxxx >wrote:What latency issues have you notice? Everything has been reasonable here.Haiku have serious problems, manly on latency of soundDitto for me, even on slower machines most of my systems have perfectly working sound.I have read some people having problems with certain hardware - I have always thought these are interrupt-sharing related issues, or a bug inthe driver perhaps. Not scheduler-related at all.You can count me in the problems-with-sound camp. However, as I hear that others don't have such problems I've assumed that these are caused by the machine it's running on (IBM ThinkPad 570E) -- and maybe the fact that it has to go through OSS. (Though André Bragadid say in a recent mail aboutthe MidiKit that "the scheduler needs work"...)Specifically, sound itself is erratically available -- it never seems to be there at start up, but suddenly later on I'll find it works. (Whether it will stop working again I haven't established.) Sound output will hiccup when I move a window -- I've never hit this in BeOS, so I guess it's possiblethat the scheduler is responsible here.
Last week I finally found out how to get the synth working (see a previousmail), and tried live input, but the latency there was excruciating --I'd say close to a second! Again, I don't see this with fluidsynth in BeOS.-- Pete --
