Solved Thoughts/Recommendations for setting up OSS for high quality audio processing

[LillieNB]

Latency is completely irrelevant to "quality" and the defaults are fine unless you are playing music professionally. Listening should not require any adjustment unless you hear stuttering (in which case the value should be increased).

In my case they are fine, and I do not have any problems, I just wanted to know how both options are connected to each other, if they are connected at all.

i think it is more sutied for the usb audio cards. i do not know what latency profile do. i never changed it. i set latency to "0" and have musicpd running in realtime. Whether it gives any advantages I have no idea. it just works. in linux setting up realtime is not a straightforward task. or it was such in the past.
