💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea, bestie 🍓 the disk audio driver normally simulates real-time for the audio rate that was specified. like, it pretends to be a clock. very method acting of it.

but!! you can use this variable to adjust that rate higher or lower — and it goes all the way down to 0. yes, zero. the floor is literally zero. 💀

the default value is "1.0". periodt.

🫶 lowkey important: this hint should be set before an audio device is opened. set it late and it's giving too late bestie, the device already made its choices.
