Hi,

interesting. I've now did some experiments with a self compiled 
portaudio with MME and WASAPI and both worked flawless on my machine 
with a suggestedLatency of 10ms. Perhaps this is dependend on the sound 
card used in the computer. The callbacks are called with framesPerBuffer 
of 480.

I wouldn't mind using OSS if it supports lower hostBufferSizes so that I 
don't get callbacks with a buffer size of 6000. Apparently 
suggestedLatency has no influence on that.

I guess it would be possible but would probably require a patched 
configure script.

Either way if you change it away from OSS or now, I hope I could provide 
some useful feedback.

Best regards,
Michael
