Sound delay

Okay, I will be the first to admit that the sound component of this piece is not only unnecessary, but highly annoying. However, being that I don't yet understand what the hell I am doing, I am not surprised.
I simply modified the [rocha] example so that the sample array is determined by the distance from the swarm object to the swarm centerpoint. Mostly static pops.
My question is regarding the sound delay. Is this par for the course? Is there a way to compensate in a way other than holding off on the render until it would match up with the sound?
Secondly, what is the ETA for documentation about the sound features in P5?

i hope to launch the sound documentation with release #56 next week.
the sound delay is a contraint from having high control over the sound and the java 1.1 technology. carlos implemented simple sound code (only for sample playback) that has much less delay. when we decide to remove some older browsers, require java plugin, and/or remove operating systems from our list of supported platforms, we can write new sound code to remove the delay.
i've heard that there is no delay with safari on OS X.

I's using the latest Safari and there's still a delay :^(
Maybe if the code was written so that if a later version of java (java2?) was available then it would use the no-delay code. Would that be really hard to maintain?

The sound code is all Java 1.1 for compatibility with OS 9 and browser virtual machines. This is what causes the delay.

Doh. Made a piece using Rochas sound object and pieces from the zoom (image) example.

This is a quicktime without the sound, but the sound input adjusts the depth of the image in conjunction with the brightness of that pixel. Looking forward to sound documentation to see about using the webcam mic as the sound source.

It would be *really cool* if there was a way to export using a different code base for applications that *needed* to not have delay. Whether the removal of the delay is acheived this way or by some other means... I will be looking forward to it ^_^
