Comment 46 for bug 996906

LMMS uses 64 frames, 1.5 ms but actually it has latency of 30-35 ms as "pacmd list-sink-inputs" says. Setting its output to ALSA results in extremely garbled sound, the only two options that actually produce reasonable sound is PulseAudio (bad latency) and SDL. Actually, latency isn't that bad if only PA doesn't increase it internally for every client.

I've got a decent CPU here, G620 @ 2.6 GHz so I may understand skipping on high CPU load, BUT PulseAudio has very high realtime priority (15) and if I use pure ALSA there are no skips.
