I think that would be very useful. Exactly what kind of latencies would 
this tool measure?

To me the GUI appears a lot more trivial than the backend :) So I'd like 
to offer my help writing a GTK frontend (steering clear of any particular 
Gnome/KDE dependencies).

Are you going to make a fully functional command line version?
