I've been playing around with this value lately after seeing this video:

It controls the size of audio buffer.

TF2 has a default value of 0.1 seconds, but if your computer isn't fucking dogshit, you can turn it down a lot (I think in mastercomfig it is set to like 0.06something).

I happen to own in-ear monitors so I thought I might try to mess with this. Without an audio card, I managed to get it down to '0.002' without audio cracks.

It makes the game feel a lot more responsive and it helps with your reaction time.

Maybe I live under a rock, but I never hear anyone talk about this

I'm pretty sure kaidus was the first person to make a thread about this command way back when, feels old man.

The general best value is used in mastercomfig and is .05, which is honestly good enough in my subjective opinion. So most people don't need to mess about with it.
