The point is your USB G930 headset is wireless

PA server often rewind the audio stream by snd_pcm_rewind() when another
application start playing audio but some of the audio signal has already sent
to your headset

dsound mainly rely on the sound card driver can provide accurate position in
GetCurrentPostion() to mix the audio streams (e.g. "open door" and "gun fire"
sound effect in game ) and write the mixed audio to the sound card

Can you detect any delay when you speak to the mic and hear back your voice in
the headphone ?
