NAME

audio_buffer_size - Change the default audio buffering size

SYNOPSIS

oldsz
audio_buffer_size( newsz )

DESCRIPTION

Some audio sources in combination with some audio outputs may lead to undesirable audio artifacts (noise, cracking or poping) or unbearably long latency when synchronized with a video source. This can be regulated to some degree by suggesting a different size for chunks being passed to the audio output. This value is applied whenever a frameserver performs a resize operation. newsz is specified in bytes.

NOTES

1

Trying to set a low size may cause a warning in the log and the actual value set being changed somewhat. Same applies to values that do not align with underlying audio sample size.

2

Setting newsz to 0 will not change the buffer size, only return the current value.
