I wondered about that. Look into jack. There's an xmms output plugin for
it and there's a clicky thing that lets you route audio with it. I've
not used it for that, but I suspect it could be coerced to do what you
want.

Anyway, Jack complains for me when it's something like a thousandth of a
second off, so it's probably closer to the latency you're looking for.
