Hi Patrick,

from my personal experience, I found that the default audio driver (PA with
WMME backend) is good enough for me. DirectSound doesn't really give us too
much improvement (latency wise), perhaps because the way audio flow is
designed in pjmedia, so I found that switching to using DS doesn't really
buy us anything. But this was few months back though, I didn't do more
experiments recently. The PA+WMME also has been made as the default audio
driver for some months now, so this is the setting that's been tested most.

But of course my use case is for general purpose desktop VoIP, where my
primary attention is to have an optimal setting which would work on most
(ideally all) Windoze systems. This is also the aim of the default settings
in pjsip/pjmedia. If you have a specific use case, then it would worth
experimenting with the combinations and/or create your own, and find out
which best fit the purpose (I know some people who are replacing the audio
driver with their own). And of course share the results or opinions here.

Cheers
 Benny
