Too hasty a reply -- I get it now, with large ksmps some instruments might
click or something. OK, the intermediate buffer is a musical requirement.

One problem is that the ksmps size is based on synthesis needs the
buffer size for rtaudio is based on hardware speeds.  If I remember
correctly, on OSX that just fails.  If -b is set to a sensible ksmps
size then the stuttering is way below feasible.  I think that there
is a need for extra buffering.
  The code I have on the Mac collects data until there is enough for
the buffer.  I got distracted by external deadlines so have not
finished the code.
