Yes. That's what I did in those firetv builds. But as this is a "special device hack", I won't push that into Kodi. Why device hacks are evil we currently see with the amlogic clibber workaround code, that breaks modern Cube, which is also amlogic driven, which btw. shows again: Chip vendor has the standard conform code, box sellers sadly have no interest at all to fix their firmware ...
It seems they use "custom workarounds" to measure this delay.
The issue basically has zero to do with kodi. It's quite simple: Their AudioTrack implementation is wrong, it only tells the buffers written into the sink, but don't say anything about the delay of their pipeline ... the workarounds they describe are meant to be called only _once_ in 10 seconds ... imagine a video player that is up to 10 seconds off sync ...
Edit: amazon also maintains an own exoplayer fork - if you find time, check these sources.
