[pulseaudio-discuss] Playback pauses

[Dmitri Paduchikh]

Hello,

When I play a sound using paplay (or aplay with ALSA configured to use
PulseAudio) there is a big pause between two successive runs. For
example:

$ paplay sound1.wav; paplay sound2.wav

The pause between these sounds is something about two seconds. I've
tried to adjust latency (through --latency-msec=50) but this doesn't
seem to change much.

Couldn't you explain what is the cause of this pause? Is it possible to
eliminate it?
