[Speex-dev] Algorithmic Delay

[Jean-Marc Valin]

The 34 ms includes everything: frame size, encoder latency/lookahead and
decoder latency/lookahead. It means that "in theory" (everything else
ideal), you could get 34 ms end-to-end latency with the codec. Of
course, in practice, you need to add network latency, soundcard
buffering and the jitter buffer. But those are codec-independent anyway.
