Sound latency with ALSA
Hi,
I notice a serious sound latency when using ALSA drivers (~ 1 second). When I force OSS drivers in game, everything is ok. My problem is that each time VO is launched, it selects ALSA drivers back, so I have to select OSS again.
I don't want to stick with OSS anyway (ALSA is better in many respects). Can someone tell me what I should do to avoid this latency ? Surely it has something to do with sound buffer size, but I wonder why other apps do not seem to have this problem with ALSA...
