the latency callback will be issued (twice, once for upstream, once for
downstream) after one of two things happens:

   * the graph changes
   * a client calls jack_recompute_total_latencies()

you would call the latter if something happens that alters your clients own
latency (e.g the change to some parameter of an algorithm that causes your
client to change its latency). then you wait for the latency callback and
reset your port latencies.
