Silence causes excessive processing time #2

If the audio source is completely silent then it can take up to 20ms to process a single packet of data, thus causing the audio output to become delayed. This is caused by SlidingWindowMax. It can be fixed by reducing SAMPLES_WINDOW to 0.5 the frequency but this does not seem like a very elegant solution.
