I'm happy to say that it ought not be the default mode of tunnel, in that it should recover all the audio eventually, but for cases like mine, I would much prefer to have it drop audio to keep that latency down. Perhaps an option to tunnel to say "it's OK to drop frames" Could even have a mode whereby if it detects silence (e.g. the inter-track gaps in music) it will drop the "silent" frames to keep the latency down to a reasonable level, only resorting to dropping non-silent frames if the latency becomes higher than some larger threshold. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd at leonerd.org.uk ICQ# 4135350 | Registered Linux# 179460 http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
