Sorry Eric for the delay! I am a little bit under project pressure. But I will
test patches where I can.

The delta is between now and when the _next_ packet is to send. New packets
are enqueued on the tail.

As Eric said: there are problems in combination with a static delay. During
rate extension development we tested the raw/vanilla "rate" functionality.
The rate part works faultless[TM] - at least independet of any other
"delay-latency generator".
