If I were designing a live audio workflow from scratch, my intuition would be to sample at a somewhat high frequency (at least 48kHz but maybe 96kHz), do the math to figure out the actual latency / data rate tradeoff, but to also filte

Because the rest of the system is not necessarily designed to tolerate high frequency content gracefully. Any nonlinearities can easily cause that high frequency junk to turn back into audible junk. This is like the issues xiphmont talks a

This is the sampling theorem. You start with a continuous band-limited signal (e.g. sound pressure [0], low-pass filtered such that there is essentially no content above 20kHz [1]). You then sample it by measuring and recording the pressur

There’s one thing that bothers me about this. Sure, PCM sampling is a lossless representation of the low frequency portions of a continuous signal. But it is not a latency-free representation. To recover a continuous signal covering the l

I think you are confusing a logical network with a network namespace. A logical network is a construct of Docker or CNI or Netavark or whatever that acts kind of like a LAN. A network namespace is a collection of processes that the kerne

I’m talking specifically about network namespaces. There are no lockfiles there. There may or may not be a “boot order” but this would be strictly the order of startup of containers within that netns/pod.
