Slowly increasing lag

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open soundflower using 2ch. System output to soundflower. Soundfower
output to external audio interface (NI Audio8 DJ)


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output is audio that is in sync with whatever is on the computer,
be it films, music production, games etc. At first there is no lag, but
within minutes a small but noticeable lag has formed. After an hour or two
the lag can be measured in seconds.



What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Latest version on Snow Leopard


Please provide any additional information below.

A workaround is to route the audio in soundflower to 'no output' and then
back to 'Audio 8 DJ'. However in lag sensitive situations (like making
music) this has to be done every 5 minutes or so.

This issue occurs still on Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.  Only 
workaround is to close Soundflowerbed and re-open it every couple hours or so.
