I've had an API for a couple of years for mpeg4ip that I've
been supporting:

extern DECLSPEC int SDL_HasAudioDelay(void);
extern DECLSPEC int SDL_AudioDelay(void);

Right now, I return number of samples in the delay; I've got
support for ALSA, DSP and DX5.  This allows me to synchronize
audio to video very well.
