How much buffering needs to exist to make sure that can happen depends
hugely on what the non-RT part of things is doing. For comparison, when the
non-RT part does disk i/o, you need to be ready for potentially several
seconds of delay in refilling (or emptying) buffers. If the disk i/o
wasn't there, the buffering requirements would be much smaller.
I don't have any disk I/O operations, I receive data from a USB dongle at a
constant rate.
If I have 'N' clients running, then the time I can spend on each callback
for processing is
= (audio_buffer_period - ( process_time * N ) )
Is that correct ?
