Pulseaudio latency

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Georg,

As i told module-loopback is giving overall latency around 300ms from the
time when i started the sequence, and *latency of module-loopback doesn't
grow at any point of time*. On saturday and sunday, we have kept a
continuous streaming for 2 days, expecting that the delay will be further
increased, but the delay is constant with 4-5 secs, and *there are no
errors in the logs*. Are there any chances like alsa-sink is filling
somewhere and blocking the source to send the audio chunks into the
memblockq?

*module-loopback output is like this:*
