[wdmaudiodev] How to adjust lip-sync for WaveCyclic driver using GetPosition()

Hi All.
I have a WaveCyclic (msvad based) USB audio driver. It works perfectly
except for one issue: lip-sync is not perfect and I would like to
compensate for hardware/USB latencies to fix this.
According to MS docs, GetPosition() should start incrementing when in
the RUN state. Also, GetPosition() is supposed to return the current
sample position which is being output by the speakers. For my driver,
there is about 30ms of USB buffering and then the USB audio device also
buffers about 30ms. This amounts to a total hardware latency of 60ms.
Since GetPosition() is supposed to return the buffer position currently
being output by the DAC, this means that after entering KS_RUN state,
GetPosition() should return 0 for about 60ms, and only then start to
increment (since the hardware is not outputting the sample data for the
first 60 ms).
The problem is that when GetPosition() is implemented to stay at
position 0 for 60ms, WaveCyclic stops calling CopyTo() and the render
stream stalls.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is this a bug in Wavecyclic? It
should not stall under these conditions, right? This is how hardware
latency should be handled no? The buffer size I report back to
WaveCyclic is large enough to handle 60ms of data, and CopyTo() stalls
after just 30ms... It's a mystery. One can repeat this problem by
simply modifying MSVAD to return 0 for 60ms after entering KS_RUN state.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
