Well, the subject appears misleading.  What you want isn't the audio
timestamp accuracy.  From API POV, the accurate position is calculated
via the (additional) delay.  So, what you want is rather the accurate
position delay accounting, and the audio timestamp is merely one of
the ways to achieve that.
