Dusting off some cobwebs
sorry, that's a different kind of soundboard. I don't know much about those.
Researching a new audio system
Converted playback to javax.sound.sampled.Clip for testing, and we have eliminated the delay. Problematically, that will also severely limit the sort of files that we can playback. Will continue to investigate.
We're still experiencing the delay. We're now creating and starting a player thread, and creating a paused BasicPlayer, at the time that a cue is readied for play back (via the top of show button), rather than at the time it is played, but there is still around a half-second delay between executing the cue and hearing audio played back. For many types of cues, this level of imprecision is probably fine, but anything that needs to fire precisely with an action on stage won't work. Unfortunately, this...
No activity in this department in a very long time, so closing the ticket.
Playback errors
We are now selecting the first cue in the table automatically when opening a new file. This will be integrated into the next version.
