0 means automatic latency compensation (which does not seem to work that
well here, it overcompensates), while 1 effectively means "no
hardware/software scheduling latency" (=> 1 ns). See also help of the
related kernel configuration parameters.

That was likely a layout question of the latency tool's output. We could
simply dump something like "All latencies in nanoseconds" during
start-up. Would this be more helpful?
