Well, yes, it isn't low-latency indeed, but probably still sensitive to
the buffer size.  The buffer we are talking about here is a pure
host-side thing, the guest doesn't know it exists and how big it is.

Yes, but for that the player needs to know how big the buffer is so the
audio clock math is correct ...
