[Speex-dev] Delay in decoder/playback

[Wouter Dhondt]

Hello.

I'm encountering a strange delay problem when decoding and playing the 
audio. It seems that the time it takes to play the complete buffer is 
somewhat larger than the time of the original audio sample. E.g. it 
looks like playing a buffer takes 21 ms while the encoded data is only 
20 ms. The result is an increasing delay in playback. There is no 
noticeable delay between 2 decoded audio packets, so we don't play 20ms, 
and wait 1 ms before playing the next. The actual playing takes longer 
than it should. We are using SDL to play the audio.

Has anyone seen this before? How can we fix this?
