Smaller values yield faster response time, but can lead to underflow if the application is doing heavy processing and cannot fill the audio buffer in time.

+<p>SDL::Audio::open reads these fields from the desired SDL::AudioSpec structure passed to the function and attempts to find an audio configuration matching your desired.

+<p>If obtained is NULL then the desired SDL::AudioSpec is your working specification, otherwise the obtained SDL::AudioSpec becomes the working specification and the desired specification can be deleted. The data in the working specification is used when building <a href="SDL-AudioCVT.html">SDL::AudioCVT</a>'s for converting loaded data to the hardware format.</p>
+<p>SDL::Audio::open calculates the size and silence fields for both the $desired and $obtained specifications. The size field stores the total size of the audio buffer in bytes, while the silence stores the value used to represent silence in the audio buffer</p>
+<p>The audio device starts out playing silence when it's opened, and should be enabled for playing by calling SDL::Audio::pause(0) when you are ready for your audio callback function to be called. Since the audio driver may modify the requested size of the audio buffer, you should allocate any local mixing buffers after you open the audio device. </p>

 <p>Converts audio data to a desired audio format.</p>
+<p><code>convert</code> takes as first parameter <code>cvt</code>, which was previously initialized. Initializing a <code>SDL::AudioCVT</code> is a two step process. 
+First of all, the structure must be created via <code>SDL::AudioCVT-&gt;build</code> along with source and destination format parameters. Secondly, 
+the <code>data</code> and <code>len</code> fields must be setup. <code>data</code> should point to the audio data buffer beeing source and destination at 
+once and <code>len</code> should be set to the buffer length in bytes. Remember, the length of the buffer pointed to by buf should be 
+<code>len*len_mult</code> bytes in length.</p>
+<p>Once the <code>SDL::AudioCVT</code> structure is initialized, we can pass it to <code>convert</code>, which will convert the audio data pointed to 
+by <code>data</code>. If <code>convert</code> fails <code>undef</code> is returned, otherwise the converted <code>SDL::AudioCVT</code> structure.</p>
+<p>If the conversion completed successfully then the converted audio data can be read from <code>cvt-&gt;buf</code>. The amount of valid, converted, 
+audio data in the buffer is equal to <code>cvt-&gt;len*cvt-&gt;len_ratio</code>. </p>
