A word about pyo (audio backend)

[fnagle]

PYO now works on my system, see here:

Partial success getting PYO to work: help needed!

PYO now works on my system. I updated some code in sound/backend_pyo.py to this: # create the instance of the server: if platform in ['darwin', 'linux2']: # for mac/linux we set the backend using the server audio param pyoSndServer = Server(sr=rate, nchnls=maxChnls, buffersize=buffer, audio=audioDriver) else: # with others we just use portaudio and then set the OutputDevice # below …

Thanks for your advice.

I have a follow-up question: in your experience, are ASIO and wasapi likely to differ in their sound playback (of simple WAV files) in either a) volume or b) latency?

I am wondering whether I should validate identical playback between our machine using ASIO and our machine using wasapi.

Thank you,
