I'm sure somebody could spend time and look back at Slimserver 5.* & 6.*
but does it help ?  It won't really explain why the feature was added
nor who actually needs it today and their finite time can be spent
fixing other problem which affect more users.

My gut feeling is that not many users actually need the feature today. I
think digital input have improved and don't need time to sync up.
If it was really needed today, I would have expected a few Flac,AAC,Ogg
& WMA users to have asked for it but I can't remember any requests

Currently some users may do play with this setting if they are trying to
solve a problem and if problem is "solved", setting is likely a placebo
as they are unlikely to be only playing MP3.
My strategy would be 
(i)  remove the setting from Web page and so prevent new users setting
non zero values. 
(ii) existing users would keep their non-zero setting in prefs. No
visible setting will make then ask what happened so actual users will be
come visible and can be investigated.
