Constant libpulse_binding::stream::flags::EARLY_REQUESTS

pub const EARLY_REQUESTS: FlagSet

Enable compatibility mode for legacy clients that rely on a “classic” hardware device fragment-style playback model. If this option is set, the minreq value of the buffer metrics gets a new meaning: instead of just specifying that no requests asking for less new data than this value will be made to the client it will also guarantee that requests are generated as early as this limit is reached. This flag should only be set in very few situations where compatibility with a fragment-based playback model needs to be kept and the client applications cannot deal with data requests that are delayed to the latest moment possible. (Usually these are programs that use usleep() or a similar call in their playback loops instead of sleeping on the device itself.) Also see ::def::BufferAttr. This option may not be specified at the same time as ADJUST_LATENCY.
