Video is a lot more forgiving when it comes to timing and the modern CPU architecture is optimized for bandwidth. It can be entirely possible to reliably process 4K RGBA images in 40ms (25fps) ~900MB/s; while the same machine fails to process 128 audio samples in under 2ms (~256kB/s).
In general a delay of an extra 40ms frame or two doesn't matter either so long as the sync lines up. I have watched a number of remote news bits where the latency is ~1 second or more (which is disturbing BTW). I have had better long distance phone call latency.
Ya, video and audio are two different animals. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
