How does this sound:


        /*
         * On some devices, like the Logitech C922, the device SOF does not run
         * at a stable rate of 1kHz. For those devices use the host SOF instead.
+        * In the tests performed so far, this improves the timestamp precision.
+        * This is probably explained by a small packet handling jitter from the
+        * host, but the exact reason hasn't been fully determined.
