[Ekiga-list] Call latency

[Johan Brannlund]

Hi. I just read a comment by Damien that dmix causes quite a bit of
latency, so I tried turning it off by selecting the "ATI IXP" device
(the name of my sound card) instead of the "Default" device and the
difference was very noticeable.

 I don't have any hard numbers, but roughly speaking the latency went
from "annoying" to "insignificant".

Is there anything that can be done about the dmix latency? Are the alsa
developers aware of the problem?
