Yes, you are absolutely right. From the power up to audio out timing table in
WTN0302, the minimum number is 82 and the maximum is 1003.

Consider the following possibilities:
1. These timings may depend on the system design
2. These timings may be simulated results
3. These timings may be the minimum values

I set a larger value trying to extend the time. The larger value of course
introduces unwanted time delay but it benefits on avoiding beginning audio
lost.

I also did some tests on a board. If I want to work on 48KHZ sample rate and
512FS, the recommended value is 143. But the test result showed 143ms is not
enough. I increased the value to 500ms and could hear the beginning sound.

Maybe it's a better choice to let DT set the suitable value? Is there a similar
situation before?

Sorry. I must avoid these spelling mistakes.

Yes. This property is designed for power up to audio out timing. I need to
clearly point this out.

Thank you very much for your suggestions!
