what machines (ie cpu clock, etc.) were you using and which cards - 
general figures?

but the question is - the number of buffers - should it affect the size of 
buffers?

that is to say - if the article suggested 32 buffers - then in case of those 
buffers being say 64 samples long - would this article be then saying 
that equivalent situation of 8 buffers 512 samples long will perform just 
as good (in terms of dropouts of course)?
