Thank you for your reply. The buffers are fairly small since they are
updated around 60 hz, so approximately 360ish samples per iteration, but I
never saw any documentation referring to minimum buffer sizes so I am a
little confused. (It may be worth to mention again that no errors are being
generated). The function determines how many samples to fill per iteration
by checking the current source sample offset against a mixahead value so
even if there are extra processed buffers the source does not underrun. As
far as circular buffers go, since I haven't seen a way to update a buffer
while it is playing (a la DirectSound) I thought this would be close. If you
have better solution I would be very interested.
