Summary: extreme lag in audio streams

Initial Comment:
ex_stream_seek demonstrates extremely bad lagging in sound output (playback is quite far behind where the position marker says it should be). It could just be a too big sound buffer.

Elias reported this, and I can reproduce it on my laptop with both ALSA/OSS drivers.

Yes, approximately 1 second here as well.  To me, that's pretty extreme.

Message:
How extreme is it? Some numbers please. ex_stream_seek uses 4*4kb=16kb
buffering. On a crappy 48kbit audio that's a third of a second + some
arbitrary audio system buffer( + IO buffer when reading a file?).

I get approximately 1 second lag in 700kbit song, which is too high, but
is it extreme?
