I've cloned the git repo, applied your patch and tested it following the procedure described in README (shown below). It seems that pauses between successive runs of paplay gone, but they are still present when sound is played by aplay (configured to use PulseAudio) and pacat. Here is the procedure I used to run PulseAudio: autoupdate ./autogen.sh CFLAGS="-ggdb3 -O0" LDFLAGS="-ggdb3" ./configure make killall pulseaudio && sleep 1 && ./src/pulseaudio -n -F src/default.pa -p $(pwd)/src/.libs/ -- With best regards Dmitri Paduchikh
