解码音频后调用阻塞的snd_pcm_writei会导致奇怪的播放吗

如果我的问题标题很糟糕，请原谅。我妻子总是告诉我，我不善于措辞。

我已经编写了一些代码来读取由另一个线程填充的缓冲区。缓冲区中充满了由opus编解码器编码的音频数据。VoIP数据从远程端接收，每次20ms。为了尽可能快地播放音频，在一个循环中，我一次从缓冲区中取出20ms的数据，然后解码，然后直接发送到snd_pcm_writei上播放。

我在谷歌上搜索了一些使用snd_pcm_writei和以前编码的音频的例子，看看其他人是怎么做的。我运气不太好。

我的想法是，如果我在等待互斥锁并等待编码，我就无法从逻辑上看到音频是"平滑的"。我可以想象，在每20ms的帧之间，会有一段时间间隔，没有音频被发送到扬声器。我怀疑这可能会产生不完美的音频，这是正确的吗？

我的代码与此相关：
