This may be picking at details, but it bothers me.  You should stop
thinking about this as "HDMI audio output data".  HDMI is a video cable
standard that happens to include audio signals.  The data you are
capturing has nothing to do with your audio hardware.  You are capturing
the current audio output stream.  Whether it goes to an HD audio board,
or a USB audio board, or an old Creative Labs sound card is not
relevant.  You are capturing your main audio output stream.

It could be something as simple as a slight clocking mismatch.  My guess
is that it is not important.  Do you get that more than once?

The latency varies based on system configuration..  It is something you
will probably have to measure yourself, and you may need to do it each
time you start up your algorithm.
