Yeah, that seems likely.

I tried some different values in Emacs 21 while playing
something using the mpg123 backend.  I found that around 0.78
the behavior was interesting:  Prefixes showed up in the echo
area after some pretty random amount of seconds.

Here's my theory:  Process filters run about every 0.78
seconds using the mpg123 backend.  The prefix only shows up
in the echo area after `echo-keystrokes' seconds have passed
without being interrupted by a process filter.

Well, something like that.

Hang on, I'll update and try that verison.
