Of course. I knew that, but I tried too hard to simplify the problem. :-)

Good idea. I submitted a patch to do just that. Works great, except
it still winds up being ahead by ~1 second about 90% of the time. So
I just add another second to the latency and calculate using that.
Perhaps the accuracy of audiobuffer_get_latency() could be improved.
