Real-time audio playback patterns for macOS Apple Silicon. TRIGGERS - audio jitter, tts choppy, sounddevice.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Real-Time Audio Architecture on macOS Battle-tested patterns and anti-patterns for jitter-free audio playback on macOS Apple Silicon, learned from building the Kokoro TTS pipeline. > **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues. ## Decision Framework When building audio playback in Python on macOS, choose based on this hierarchy: ``` 1. Write-based sd.OutputStream ← DEFAULT CHOICE 2. Callback-based sd.OutputStream ← Only if you need sample-level control 3. afplay subprocess ← Only for one-shot playback of existing files 4. macOS say ← NEVER for production TTS ``` ## Patterns (DO) ### Pattern 1: Write-Based sounddevice.OutputStream **The default choice for Python audio playback.** `stream.write()` blocks in PortAudio's C code until the device buffer has space. No Python code runs on the audio thread, so the GIL is irrelevant. ```python import sounddevice as sd import numpy as np def open_audio_stream() -> sd.OutputStream: …

How to install
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/realtime-audio-architecture@sha256:bdaa76708f83d672The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260506.fd8a4c9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
