+  The only button <kbd class="menu">Disable PDC</kbd> allows to enable/disable
+  the <em>P</em>lugin <em>D</em>elay <em>C</em>ompensation. Enabling it will
+  make all signal perfectly aligned, while disabling it will reduce the delay,
+  at the expense of slightly misaligned signals for tracks that have plugins introducing
+  latency.

+       <li>the I/O latency, i.e. the worst latency pre-roll</li>
