Suppose you configure for 2 periods. The the following
happens:
Capture A B C D E F
Processing - A B C D E
Playback - - A B C D
For 3 periods, this becomes:
Capture A B C D E F
Processing - A B C D E
Playback - - - A B C
And for 4 periods:
Capture A B C D E F
Processing - A B C D E
Playback - - - - A B
The advantage of having more that 2 periods is that processing
can be late without ill consequences, e.g. for 3 periods
Capture A B C D E F
Processing - - A B C D
Playback - - - A B C
Thanks, Fons.. This simple diagram
finally pounded the order of things
into my head, I hope.
Cheers,
