Audio latency is the time delay as an audio signal passes through
a system. There are many kinds of audio latency metrics. One useful
metric is the round trip latency, which is the sum of output latency
and input latency.
The measurement step works like below:
1. Listen and measure the average loudness of the environment for
one second;
2. Create a threshold value 16 decibels higher than the average
loudness;
3. Begin playing a ~1000 Hz sine wave and start counting the samples
elapsed;
4. Stop counting and playing if the input's loudness is higher than
the threshold, as the output wave is probably coming back;
5. Calculate the audio latency value in milliseconds.
