Thanks Mark,
I guess it takes a little experimentation to find suitable settings. I'm
wondering though, that if the xrun reported says:
delay of 5132.000 usecs exceeds estimated spare time of 5009.000;
restart ...
All I'm losing is 0.1 ms of audio? These short xruns I see reported
aren't even audible on my good speakers, so I wouldn't mind (yes, I know
it's not ideal) losing this audio to have a lower latency.
Cheers,
Andrés

Hi Rui,
Thanks very much for your explanation. I remember there was a discussion
about this not too long ago, but I'm wondering if the xruns matter when
recording only. You could record at low latency, then raise it for
mixing and mastering (like you usually do on any system). Would this be
ok? Or would the recorded audio be missing small pieces?
Cheers,
Andres
You cannot know for certain. If the xrun is Ardour not delivering
audio to the sound card then you get a click in the output audio. Not
a killer problem. If the xrun is Ardour not acquiring audio from the
sound card then the data is lost forever. Much bigger problem.
I would recommend that you record with latencies just high enough to
not be overly painful, and then push them higher when doing mixing if
you are not interfacing with external signal paths for post
processing.
