A question I've asked before, but don't remember getting an answer to.
Are people overthinking the whole issue of latency?
How did the 1920's Big bands manage - spread across a stage? What about a
theatre organist playing an instrument where different ranks have different time
delays, from a few milliseconds to nearly half a second?
You can invent clinical tests where it's easy to detect this, but has anyone
played with a real-world complete mix to discover how far out a mix has to be
before it becomes noticeable.
I once did a basic comparison of played arps against the same track quantised,
and (with A/B testing) was surprised at how far out it could be before I could
tell which was which - especially if the 'drift' was slow and across several
bars.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

If there are, then it is related to the room / speaker positions.
Nothing you can change with pc-setup-tools.
Maybe with a specialized software for that, but again, no general
solution could be provided. More likely you'll look for a better speaker
position.
But most likely is the opposite, you'll use the travel time as "effect"
. To say, hey, this room has a nice acoustic, really great live atmosphere. You'll never change anything on "travel
time of the sound wave in the
air", so why make it complicated?
If live music, theatre etc. should be
your domain, you hopefully try to
compensate issues caused by travel time. Or am I mistaken aren't there
possible issues caused by travel times?
