function AudioFeedbackLatencyTest(roundtrip, trigger, nrtrials, freq, freqout, fullduplex, runmode)
% AudioFeedbackLatencyTest([roundtrip=0][, trigger=0.1] [, nrtrials=10] [, freq=44100][, freqout=44100][, fullduplex=0][, runmode=1])
%
% Tries to test sound onset accuracy of PsychPortAudio without need for
% external measurement equipment: Sound signals are played back via
% PsychPortAudio at well defined points in time, using low-latency mode. At
% the same time, sound is captured via PsychPortAudio's capture facilities.
% The idea is that the microphone or line-in connector should pick up and
% capture the sound signals emitted through line-out (via a line-out ->
% line-in feedback cable) or emitted through the speakers. We measure and
% compare timing of emitted vs. captured sound spikes.
%
% Results on MacbookPro suggest that the method works, but with a not 100%
% accuracy, so its still better to use external measurement equipment to
% test!!!
%
% EARLY BETA CODE: USE ONLY WITH GREAT CAUTION AND SUSPICION!
%
% Optional parameters:
%
% 'roundtrip' If set to 0 then this measures scheduling accuracy of sound
% onset, as measured by sound capture -- should be no worse than ~ 1 msec
% on a well working system, and input detection latency, ie., how long does
% it take from physical sound onset to detection of sound onset by the
% script. This would be a useful measure of how fast a "Voicekey" could
% respond to voice onset in a best case scenario.
%
% If set to 1 then this measures time from issuing the PsychPortAudio('Start')
% command to start playback until actual start of playback (by driver self-
% assessment, and by measuring via audio capture), and also as "Roundtrip"
% how long it would take to detect the onset by the script.
%
% 'trigger' = Trigger level for detection of sound onset in captured sound.
%
% 'ntrials' = Number of measurement trials to perform.
%
% 'freq' = Samplerate of capture device.
%
% 'freqout' = Samplerate of playback device.
%
% 'fullduplex' = Use soundcard in full-duplex mode.
%
% 'runmode' = Runmode for PsychPortAudio to choose.
%
% Obviously this test function can only be used in a very silent room!
