Oh yeah, you're probably right. I just remembered that it wasn't written in
a real language ;)
It doesn't feel very tight, and the synchronisation window is super wide. I
suspect this is because the libraries they use aren't really meant for
low-latency real-time use, and they have no access to the hardware/drivers
directly, so they have to allow for a huge margin of error.
