ALSA and JACK based apps work without delays. I'd say it's
oss-emulation
layer problem at least in my case.
I suspect the OSS emulation layer myself, but I can't get my finger on
it. I toyed without some more last night, by playing a short wav file.
"aplay my.wav" starts in less than a second, whereas "play my.wav"
takes 1-2 seconds (am I correct in assuming that "play" uses oss and
"aplay" uses alsa?)
is there some kind of buffer setting that i can tweak that will remove
this lag? or is there a way to get more of my apps to use alsa instead
of oss (like esd). and if i get esd to use alsa, will that fix my
problem with flash?
(just as an additional item, i figured i would monkey with the irqs to
see if the problem was there. I now have the audiophile on irq 9 by
itself, and still the same problem.)
