I would have thought every dinky usb sound card would need good timing, and usb modems that expect to fax reliably. But then again, my incredulity doesn't matter because current bluetooth A2DP audio devices continue to have have wow (speed skew, as in "wow & flutter" like records and tapes had, but no flutter) no matter how incredulous I am about it. I mean, CD's had no wow since 1982, laserdiscs had no wow since 1978. Why in 2010 do several different smart phones (different OS's different manufacturers, used with different receivers both in car and in home) have wow when playing audio over bluetooth?
Presumably, wow in audio must be the result of the irregularity in the rate of arrival of packets in the stream, and a buffer that isn't large enough to soak up the irregularity. Is there no way to increase the buffer size? Is there even a buffer at all? Fortunately, that is not a problem in my original query, because the serial device in question is a trackball.
Progress often isn't.
