hello,
you could use the patch you've made last month for am-radio and use it 
to measure latency...

obviously the message is translated into voltage levels by a modulator 
and a demodulator.
In the equation, you will need to substract the latency of the soundcard.
hope you get what I mean, and find something in this way,
best,
patco.
