If you want the expect script to pause / wait for a certain amount of time
then just add

sleep 1

at the appropriate position

This will cause the prg to wait for 1 second.

You could also force expect into conservative mode, read the man page
on your system for information on this.

This will make the prg wait 1/10 sec between each character being sent.

NAME
roar_vs_sync - Sync VS object with server SYNOPSIS
#include <roaraudio.h> int roar_vs_sync (roar_vs_t * vss, int wait, int * error); DESCRIPTION
This function syncs the local data buffers with the server by flushing them. The parameter wait is used to tell the function if it should also wait for the flushed data to be played (sometimes called drain by other sound systems). This mode is not recommended expect at end of stream as it will result in buffer underruns. This function does only flush IO buffers not the ring buffers in buffered mode. Use roar_vs_iterate(3) or roar_vs_run(3) to do this. PARAMETERS
vss The VS object to be synced. wait Specifies if the calls should block untill all data has been played. Must be ROAR_VS_WAIT or ROAR_VS_NOWAIT. error This is a pointer to a integer used to store the error value in case of error. This can be NULL if not used but it is very recom- mended to use this error value to report good error messages to the user. RETURN VALUE
On success these calls return 0. On error, -1 is returned. NOTES
This function uses the WAIT protocol command if wait is set to ROAR_VS_WAIT. This is not supported by all servers. EXAMPLES
