Latency in playing sfx

[gmarty]

I noticed there's a long time between the moment sfx is called and the moment the sound is actually played (about 1 second or so).

I'm not super familiar with this part of picolove but is there room for optimisation to reduce this latency? Are the sounds generated and cached in advance? If not, is it possible to do so?

I'm happy to help if anyone can point me in the right direction.

The sound system in picolove isn't sampled or anything, it's a large synthesizer that is constantly always generating audio on the fly and can't really be cached at all.

But I'll look into this issue, thank you for reporting.

For anyone looking at this issue, there's two variables in main.lua that control latency:
__buffer_count=8
__buffer_size=1024
Feel free to reduce these values and report back what works good for you without stuttery audio.
