leave in a comment about how to offset the audio time in case your sound card is lying
we didn't eventually need this because we found a good-sounding card
that could report offset correctly. But if you're stuck with a card
that reports offset incorrectly, you can play with this offset for
a partial workaround. note that song intros will probably still be
corrupted (but you could workaround that by prepending some silence)
