Comment 20 for bug 1777480

"I've never noticed any audible artifacts caused by cache misses."

I can definitely hear it. It's not so far out to sound like a train wreck clashing mix but you do get a clip-clop kinda beat where you can hear they're not quite aligned.

"If the caching reader is not able to provide the requested samples in time the only consequence should be a short moment of silence produced by 0 samples. Subsequent samples should arrive in time as the reader catches up. This caching issue shouldn't affect the timing in any way,"

I think playing the contents of the old buffer (so it would be like hitting the hotcue a fraction of a second later audibly) would be better but either would be better than the current method.
