Comment 8 for bug 347307

Right on both counts with -o audio.period-size=4096
The timing is awful but the distortion goes away.

Eventually a reduction in size does not eradicatic bad timing without bringing in other audio errors.
Better on smaller soundfont.
I feel it has more of a tendancy to eat cpu with the audio period adjusted.

Tried Fluidsynth playback using Tuxguitar and the Fluidsynth Plugin on Hardy again just to make sure its clean, and it is.
Jaunty has not worked out of the can as Hardy is doing.

Thanks for the info on Latency link.
BTW its not so much latency with Jaunty it justs sounds like the band has aquired a VERY POOR rythmn section with the audio size adjusted.
