+// Implementation notes:
+//
+// - It is recommended to first acquire the native sample rate of the default
+//   output device and then use the same rate when creating this object.
+//   Use AUAudioOutputStream::HardwareSampleRate() to retrieve the sample rate.
+// - Calling Close() also leads to self destruction.
+// - The latency consists of two parts:
+//   1, Hardware latency, which includes Audio Unit latency, audio device
+//      latency and audio stream latency;
+//   2, The delay between now and the scheduled time stamp that tells when the
+//      data we are providing is going to reach the hardware.

ditto on returning zero
