Delay when playing a lot of audio at the same time

[congard]

Expected behavior:

Continuous playback (recorded on the same machine using pydub):

Actual behavior:

As the title says - there is some delay (?) when playing a lot of audio at the same time, it seems that audio is playing in some "portions", like there is some kind of queue.

Also, if you remove usleep(10 * 1000) from the code below, you will hear something like this:

Steps to reproduce the problem:

The problem can be reproduced with the following code:

SoLoud::Soloud soloud;
soloud.init();

SoLoud::Bus bus;
soloud.play(bus);

SoLoud::Wav wave;
wave.load("audio/SfxCrystal1.ogg");

for (int i = 0; i < 50; ++i) {
    usleep(10 * 1000);
    bus.play(wave);
    // soloud.play(wave); // same here
}

SoLoud version, operating system, backend used, any other potentially useful information:

• Latest master (1157475), Fedora 36, Alsa / MiniAudio
• Latest master (1157475), Android 12
