Are there not any good nonproprietary lossless low latency audio codecs? A brief look at Wikipedia shows a couple that are 5ms or lower, but either they are proprietary or they are low bitrate.

In my experiments with transmitting realtime audio signals using Opus, 10ms frame sizes are acceptable for 1-way synchronicity (e.g. if you want the user to perform an action and hear the result as simultaneous with the action) but it's definitely the upper bound. From what I remember my signal processing professor say, the threshold to try and hit is 7ms total latency for truly undetectable processing, but I can't find a reference for that, so take it with a grain of salt.
