freeaudio or directsound

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/freeaudio or directsound

Ok so we all know freeaudio has a .5 second lag on vista as did driectsound but vista SP1 seems to have fixed the directsound, so I use.

?Win32
SetAudioDriver "directsound"
?MacOS
SetAudioDriver "freeaudio"
?


I'm just wondering is directsound safe for XP and freeaudio safe for Mac? Or is openAL a better choice for both?
