It would be interesting to reproduce this. Please provide a part of your
file which reproduces this. (Maybe privately.)
I will do this in a minute.
Does this occur with new
generated data in this file?
I am not exactly sure what you mean: Newly generated data while
ant-phone is up? What I did was while ant-phone was DOWN, remove the old
calls file, place a call, and start ant-phone. It crashed again, with
the new calls file that now contained only one line (that's the file I
will provide to you privately).
Before I start doing more tests, I'd like to know if there are ideas
around to the cause (and solutions) of these delays. I could think of:
- the relatively slow cpu
- the bluetooth connection, however pings are in the range of 50 ms
- the sound driver
- the soundcard itself
Mainly the latter two, I guess. Some drivers don't support short enough
"fragment sizes" in the OSS input/output buffers, at least some users
reported similar problems with special configurations. And ANT is still
not really real time capable. Now that my exams are done, I should have
more time to dive into this.

Do you observe similar problems with another machine (preferable
"classic" desktop hardware) with another sound device model?
I just did a test on an Athlon-1800+ with Asus A7V8X board and the
on-board sound card snd-via82xx. Otherwise the setup was the same, i4l
via bluetooth. Unfortunately the delay is still *very* noticable, I
would estimate around half a second. :(
BTW, how I tested this was by calling myself via ISDN or mobile phone,
saying something into ant-phone and listening to the classic phone, so
it should be something like a "round-trip delay".
Do you (or anyone else) have a working low-delay setup of ant-phone? If
yes, what is the configuration?
Is it possible to configure (or patch) the sound driver for smaller
"fragment sizes"?
Maybe I can do some test with my old wired ISDN card sometime in order
to rule out bluetooth, but it might be weeks or even months before I get
to do this...
Thanks for the report.
You're welcome. Thanks for developing ant-phone :)
Regards.
Matthias
