That would be the buffer size. The boundary has no meaning in applications; you just use it as a special value for the stop threshold to disable underruns. > why do audio pipelines allow underrun? Because inserting silent samples because without reporting it to the application would be worse in many cases; any synchronization with other real-time events would be lost. When you don't care, disable underruns. This isn't the default for historical reasons.
