It still doesn't matter? I do believe concistency matters in serious
audio applications, so latency has to be *defined* - even if not
incredibly low.
Sure, thats why I'm confused my your suggestion of changing the buffer
size inside loops.
Well, one would assume that the host forbids feedback
loops without
delay elements, so at least, the user cannot do this without being
aware of what's going on, to some extent. If the buffer size goes
below some sensible number, the host could warn the user about
potential CPU load increase. ("Read docs for more info".)
My experience is that this isn't neccesary. Genrally nothing really
supprising happens in fedback systems, unless the blocksize is very large.
