Linux's USB Audio Driver Aims For Latency Reduction

[pkunk]

Just measured roundtrip with pipewire as a sound server on my USB DAC it a is 70ms and on build-in sound card 45ms. Need to compare after the patch.
Upd: Actually excluding pipewire default buffers it would be ~26ms and ~2ms correspondingly. Which is probably a big deal for Osu! players.

I guess it shows that somehow one person actually managed to not have a single audio issue or so they think?

Yeah, sometimes the silent majority dares to post a positive confirmation that stuff actually works - to great frustration for the angry vocal minority

I think that someone actually bought into the Sound Blaster hype, lol!

I am using a Soundblaster Zx (CA0132), which is fully working, including all the proprietary DSP features and 5.1 surround and occasionally an AptX enabled Bluetooth headset. I've had zero issues so far. Gentoo amd64, Pulseaudio 13.0, Kernel 5.12 series
