I feel it would be a better solution to have an API for the sampler to
tell the host where its syncpoints are, and the host to represent that to
the user.. the events are always sent for the start of the sample, but the
host is able to represent them to the user as being at the sync point.
It's a user perception issue, not an event scheduling one.
