What's the sense of "gapless output" if I can't put it to 0 mSec? (nT)

Every sound card has a slight delay from the time you ask it to play a sound to the time it appears on your speakers.

Oh, we musicians are all too familiar with soundcard latency, aren't we. But we're talking about playback only here. So your program should know when to 'ask' for playing a new song. Can't things be treated like one continuous audio stream to the soundcard? There are no hazzles like this with the gapless output plug-ins for WinAMP, it simply works there without any problems.

The default value would have been probbably right, or close (BTW if you put a storage scope on the output, I bet Winamp is just guessing it, after all it cannot tap into the lowlevel drivers present on Windows, just not possible).
