Ah, only after reading my reply from the mailing list I
understand your concern.

The sync-volume is really not only using some explicit timers,
but it uses sinks latency information (got with
pa_sink_get_latency_within_thread()) for timing the HW volume
changes and adjust the timers when ever the DMA buffer is rewound.

The parameters given are there only to compensate for timer and
reported latency inaccuracy. The "safety margin" is for compensation
dynamic inaccuracy and "extra delay" is there to compensate
static errors. On most hardware "extra delay" should be set to
zero.
