Cool! I'm glad to hear the pipes are working for you.

The settings you've chosen for wavin2cmd provide about 370ms at
44.1kHz, so the additional 630ms is likely the result of network
buffering on each end, the encryption/conversion buffering, and the
linux machine's audio output driver latency.

To get 300ms through-latency, you'll need to minimize the buffering
wherever you can, and not use encryption/compression, since these add
additional buffering and can use processor cycles needed for minimum
latency driver performance (this goes up inversely proportional to the
buffer size). If you need compression to minimize network traffic, you
could try the flac codec.
