operating system and one for an ASIO buffer (which bypasses the operating system

audio). In any event, a small buffer needs frequent data transfers, which may result in
“holes” in the audio stream when the CPU is heavily loaded or when one of the active
drivers doesn’t comply with the time specification of the system.
