Agreed.  This is what I was trying to say so I apologise that it was not
clear.

Sending timestamps derived from a fixed interval did not provide reliable
audio output from these devices in general.  This was observed with real
hardware and tangentially, the hardware did not send SPH timestamps with a
fixed interval either.  At 48 kHz for example, deviations from a difference
of 512 were routinely observed in both directions even with official drivers
on vendor-supported OSes.

Over and out.
