Works for me for usb->hdaudio loopback. i get a latency < 40ms See log at http://pastebin.com/jWC57PcT I suspect your alsa soc driver doesn't report the latency accurately. Interestingly the latency you have is very close to the period size (64k). Try changing the fragment size in (usr)/etc/pulse/daemon.conf and check if you see any difference in latency. -Pierre
