+ * Playback and record streams always have a server-side buffer as

+ * in a compromise between low latency and sensitivity for buffer
* overflows/underruns.
*
* The buffer metrics may be controlled by the application. They are
* described with a pa_buffer_attr structure which contains a number
* of fields:
*
- * \li maxlength - The absolute maximum number of bytes that can be stored in
- * the buffer. If this value is exceeded then data will be
- * lost.
- * \li tlength - The target length of a playback buffer. The server will only
- * send requests for more data as long as the buffer has less
- * than this number of bytes of data.
+ * \li maxlength - The absolute maximum number of bytes that can be
+ * stored in the buffer. If this value is exceeded
+ * then data will be lost. It is recommended to pass
+ * (uint32_t) -1 here which will cause the server to
+ * fill in the maximum possible value.
+ *
+ * \li tlength - The target fill level of the playback buffer. The
+ * server will only send requests for more data as long
+ * as the buffer has less than this number of bytes of
+ * data. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 (which is
+ * recommended) here the server will choose the longest
+ * target buffer fill level possible to minimize the
+ * number of necessary wakeups and maximize drop-out
+ * safety. This can exceed 2s of buffering. For
+ * low-latency applications or applications where
+ * latency matters you should pass a proper value here.
+ *
* \li prebuf - Number of bytes that need to be in the buffer before
- * playback will commence. Start of playback can be forced using
- * pa_stream_trigger() even though the prebuffer size hasn't been
- * reached. If a buffer underrun occurs, this prebuffering will be
- * again enabled. If the playback shall never stop in case of a buffer
- * underrun, this value should be set to 0. In that case the read
- * index of the output buffer overtakes the write index, and hence the
- * fill level of the buffer is negative.
- * \li minreq - Minimum free number of the bytes in the playback buffer before
- * the server will request more data.
- * \li fragsize - Maximum number of bytes that the server will push in one
- * chunk for record streams.

- * The server side playback buffers are indexed by a write and a read

+ * overtakes the write index, and hence the fill level of
+ * the buffer is negative. If you pass (uint32_t) -1 here
+ * (which is recommended) the server will choose the same
+ * value as tlength here.
+ *
+ * \li minreq - Minimum free number of the bytes in the playback
+ * buffer before the server will request more data. It is
+ * recommended to fill in (uint32_t) -1 here. This value
+ * influences how much time the sound server has to move
+ * data from the per-stream server-side playback buffer
+ * to the hardware playback buffer.
+ *
+ * \li fragsize - Maximum number of bytes that the server will push in
+ * one chunk for record streams. If you pass (uint32_t)

+ * applications where latency matters you should pass a

+ * If PA_STREAM_ADJUST_LATENCY is set, then the tlength/fragsize
+ * parameters will be interpreted slightly differently than described
+ * above when passed to pa_stream_connect_record() and
+ * pa_stream_connect_playback(): the overall latency that is comprised

+ * playback latency for your stream. Unset it if you want to control
