As I said, your audio device is a real-time device. The data you send
it are shipped to the speakers immediately. You have to send it 176,400
bytes every second in order to maintain continuous playback without any
breaks.
Think about it. Let's say you send 44,100 bytes, then you wait for 1/2
second. Those 44,100 bytes will finish playing in 1/4 second, then the
board has no more data. The speakers will go silent for the next 1/4
second.
How are you generating the data now? Where does the data come from?
