The sound system should be a little more intelligent, and scale the buffer 
size according to the sample rate used, instead of using a fixed buffer size. 

8000 bytes of buffer at  8kHz gives 1 second of delay.
8000 bytes of buffer at 96kHz gives 83ms of delay.

I would recommend 2*50ms or 2*25ms of buffer.
