Btw. I give up and don't continue editing the Wiki. Maybe, just maybe,
I'll add a note that more important than the lowest possible latency
for at least HDD recording is good latency compensation. Some apps
providing HDD recording don't provide latency compensation at all
and/or if you change the frames, the already recorded tracks don't fit
anymore to the changed latency.

Did somebody read the Wiki or is it just bikeshedding to discuss the
details of lowest possible latency?

I like low latency a lot, but I always thought that a good tuned audio
production environment is a chain of well considered tuning, where
super low latency is not the first point you mention. I would expect
this from advertisings to sell pro-sumer gear.

What about 1000Hz and the other questions? No opinions?

Regards,
Ralf

Homer, testing Floyd, said, "Five times nine", and Floyd instantly
responded "Forty-five", which impressed Homer.
