What sould be the capture and playback buffer size in 8,16,32 khz
for the Alsa system?
Can this also causing latency?
In the server side I have:
-A thread that reads the input from mic (capture) ands copies to
main buffer.
-The main loop encodes and sends it to the client ( it's read the
data from the main buffer)
Client:
-A thread for interacting with alsa, as soon as it has data on the
main buffer it's to the Alsa device
-The main loop reads from socket, decodes the frame and copies it to
the main buffer
As time goes by I start to notice an increase of latency.
