Tim Thank you, your answer is really valid :) Andrew Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2010 16:42:26 -0700 From: timr@xxxxxxxxx To: wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [wdmaudiodev] Re: sAPO must be real-time compatible Andrew Sha...... wrote: I guess it is not such a good idea just to return from an ADOProcess call when some encoding supposed to be done, is it? But it is a good idea to return processed results of a previous ADOProcess call, submitting data of the current ADOProcess call to the driver, the only question is how to handle the very first call. Any bright ideas? One perfectly valid answer is to return silence -- a buffer of zeros. You'll introduce one buffer's worth of latency. It's up to you to decide whether that's a reasonable price to pay. -- Tim Roberts, timr@xxxxxxxxx Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
