Also, in response to your question about why smaller buffers are better:
Yes, a larger buffer reduces dropouts and can be really handy for
recording live. But, the buffer introduces a delay. So if you were to
record one track, and then try and play that track back while recording
another track sync'd to it, a large buffer would make it really difficult.
I don't agree with this. The buffersize introduces delay, but
a completely predictable delay. Its only when you attempt to use S/W
monitoring that this causes a problem for the performer. With H/W
monitoring I very happily run at 2048*2.
