Description

Name: fb126949			Date: 04/09/2004


Previous versions of the JDK never implemented Synthesizer.getLatency -- it always returned 0. For tiger, this was fixed, but unfortunately the method returns the latency in sample frames and not, as specified, in microseconds. 

Since the latency of the synthesizer was essentially *increased* with tiger (in order to have constant latency), some JCK tests fail due to this unexpected long latency (see e.g. bug 4987585: Some MidiChannel methods are asynchronous.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Synthesizer.getLatency should be fixed for tiger.

EVALUATION Indeed, the synthesizer returns latency in sample frames, and not in microseconds (e.g. 3072 microseconds, instead of e.g. 50000). The fix is riskless (replacing the call to HAE_GetMaxSamplePerSlice with a call to HAE_GetSliceTimeInMicroseconds). ###@###.### 2004-04-09
