===Latency===
The larger the buffer is, the more time it takes to play the audio data sent for playback. Large buffers increase the time required before the next buffer can be played, this delay is usually called '''latency'''. Every system has certain limitations - too small buffers involving negligible latencies cannot be smoothly processed by computer, so the reasonable size starts at about 32 samples. The processor load does not affect latency directly (it means, once you set certain buffer size, the latency is constant),. butBut with very high processor loads, the processingbuffer isn't filled with new sound in time in time for playback, and the startssound droppingdropps out. Increasing buffer size or quitting other applicationapplications helps to keep playback smooth.
