--- Comment #124 from Jörg Höhle <hoehle at users.sourceforge.net> 2012-01-23 04:12:08 CST ---
One thing I've had in mind for several weeks now is whether we should switch
wineALSA's default period to 20ms -- just like wineOSS and CoreAudio use --
until after we have a design that ensures running glitch-free[*] in the
worst-case scenario and until after relase 1.4.
This takes advantage of Alexey's observations in comment #19, namely that
XAudio2 will use larger buffers when it sees such a period, causing less stress
in Wine.

[*] The missing key currently is that winealsa starts too early: there's so
little in the buffer that the next underrun is close.

What I don't know at all is how DSound would react to that.  It looks like
native DSound has been using 10ms ticks for over a decade.  OTOH, all users of
wineoss have been using exactly that 10/20ms combination since 1.3.25.
