Hi,

thank you for the quick reply. I checked my program again and there was 
indeed a bug which prevent OSS from working. Though, it's not really OSS 
what was the problem. The problem was the huge buffer size that OSS causes.

I set a suggested latency of 0.008 (which is what I obtain from 
defaultLowOutputLatency) and the audio callback get's a framesPerBuffer 
size of 6000! At 48 kHz that is more than 100 ms of latency. I'm not 
suggesting that MME is the best solution, but it was able to get 
something below 50 ms (not sure what defaultLowOutputLatency was with that).

Is there a difference when building portaudio for Cygwin instead of 
native Windows? Is there a specific reason why MME, DirectSound, WASAPI 
are not available? Do they cause maintenance overhead?
