High latency buffering of audio before playback #235

Issue description

It takes the AudioPlayer around 800-900ms to fully buffer before finally playing in a voice channel. This is up from <100ms from older versions of Discord.js, using the dispatcher.

I have used tweetnacl and libsodium-wrappers, I have created AudioResources from both local files and remote, latency has not improved.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Use new Date() immediately after a connection to a voice channel, and again on('stateChange') from buffering to playing. Note the difference is ~900ms.

Code sample

const connection = joinVoiceChannel({
    channelId: channel.id,
    guildId: channel.guild.id,
    adapterCreator: channel.guild.voiceAdapterCreator
});

const player = createAudioPlayer();
const resource = createAudioResource(path.join(__dirname, '../../130876312133959680.mp3'));

player.play(resource);
connection.subscribe(player);

player.on('stateChange', (oldState, newState) => {
  if (oldState.status === 'playing' && newState.status === 'idle') {
    connection.disconnect();
  }
});
