So I'm aiming for the most latest free audio playback possible. From what I've read that means using uncompressed .caf files on iOS. Discussions seems to indicate that 22kHz will reduce filesize, but nothing is said whether that will reduce playback latency. The same is said about mono vs stereo, mono reduces filesize, but no mentions whether it reduces latency on playback.

Anyone have any experiential conclusion? Thoughts? Imaginings?
