Hi there,

May be the disk read/write taking more time than actual audioconvert. Check
using the file from some ramfs/tmpfs path, this experiment will isolate
possibility of disk read/write's role.
As said by Sebastian you can very well do the CPU profiling which should
pinpoint role of each component towards to the delay if it is disk access
it should be towardss
filesink.


With Warm Regards
