Hi

I think I got the idea of -B and -b, and found reasonable settings for 
them. But how about kr or ksmps? Is there any magical relationship with 
-B and/or -b? I know that as a general rule a large ksmps should give 
better realtime performance, but besides that?

Hmm, I'm gonne try that for sure. I have ksmp=20 right now. Will check 
it out tonight, thanks!

If you are playing live and want low latency, you need to have a very
small ksmp in order to get the buffers down low. So something like ( on
linux with low latency kernel ) ksmp=8 or 4, -b8 -B32 gets dead low
latency. Of course this will eat up more cpu use and you'll probably
want to use rtaudio=alsa, -m0, -D, --sched, etc.
