[mk: the following text was copied from https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/pull/167] For certain format (hi-res files) and normal buffer size hardware, The hardware may at once consume most of the buffers. However, in Delay() function, MPD is supposed to wait for 25 ms after the next try. it will create a hiccup. The negative impact is much major than increasing the latency. I understand larger buffers come at a price. That's why in my earlier commit last year I significantly reduced it. However, the buffer size in CoreAudio is set according to the hardware, which is super small latency. For instance, the system audio of 2015 generation of macbook pro has maximum buffer size of 4096 samples, which is just 0.09s for 44.1k framerate, or 0.04s for 96k frames --- . compare to the 0.5 sec latency alsa plugin has, even if we quadruple it, it's still super tiny.
