Given the title, I would have liked to see some in-depth analysis on why the latency is as bad as it is? Which parts of the software stack are causing it?<p>Even though the Linux kernel is less than ideal for audio, it can still provide a latency low enough for music, ie. 10 ms or less.<p>This is an unbearable situation. There are lots of interesting music apps on the iOS that I would like to use, but only a handful are available on Android. And even if they are available, they are not necessarily usable.
