How much extra latency are we getting from this ? I've noticed the extra
lag in some of our games.
Probably because SDL is going through ESD? And OpenAL is going to go
through SDL? Which is a completely bogus situation IMHO but it works for
now. Pulse's ALSA wrapper needs to be fixed to work with SDL and OpenAL
and/or SDL and OpenAL need to get native Pulse support.
