1 sample buffer latency?

Is this just a bug? I have seen this a few times over the years.

It is not exactly a bug. The buffer size you set here is the value that we request from the audio engine we are using. Whether or not it can grant that request depends on various factors including which audio API you selected.

So, for example, if you set the buffer size to 1 sample then it might end up using a value of 32 samples but it will get as close as possible to the value you set. Unfortunately it is not very straightforward to query the value that ended up being used so we can display it on this screen.
