Just did a quick test: created to busses, both get the same signal,
one has the artificial latency plugin. Their outputs are still
the same... Seems like Ardour does try to compensate for the fake
latency (the playhead moves back when started, output is delayed),
but the delay is apparently also applied to the strip that reports
the latency.
