In audio, you can usually tolerate a few milliseconds of latency (more when mixing, less when recording). This means you can buffer your audio stream, for example in blocks of 64 or 128 samples.

As far as I know, these millisecond latencies are orders of magnitude higher than what would be tolerable in HFT. There the units are microseconds and nanoseconds.
