[pulseaudio-discuss] Is there a simple way to run old games with low latency sound?

[Bill Cox]

On some mailing lists, I've read that some users avoid PA partly
because older games they like to play wind up having delayed sound.  I
would guess that there is a way to configure PA for specific
applications that run in user space to run with lower latency.  First,
how would I do that for a specific game?  Is it possible for me  to
write a PA module that reads a simple list of such executables, and
configures them all to be low-latency?  I know that speech-dispatcher
had a major problem with latency in PA until we rewrote the PA driver
to use the pulse-simple interface, and then set tlength to a lower
number.  Would it be possible to modify such paramters in a module for
apps in my low-latency list?

Thanks,
Bill
