The parameter names are a bit misleading. latency-time only deals with the amount of data exchanged between pulsesink and pulseaudio. It doesn't really represent the latency. buffer-time should be the total buffering/latency you want for your audio chain. If you don't care about it, set it to -1 to reduce the number of wakes and decrease power consumption -Pierre
