try clarett interface. it also comes with pre amps which will make your sound less noisy , scarlet preamps are just absolutely terrible. you can debug your daw to see how it uses drivers and make a python module which exposes similar functions to python. you will likely still want a delay compensation to make things seem free of any latency, but it will be doing _much_ less compensating. maybe theres an opensource daw if you want to skip reversing driver calls from a debugger.

Debugging an existing DAW to see how they do it under the hood is an interesting idea. Haven't done that yet.

About another interface: I do want to keep the application supporting cheaper interfaces such as the Scarlett, because the target audience (hobby musicians) will be using those. Still would be a nice upgrade for me!

Can take a peek at how Tracktion engine does it too

Tracktion looks like an interesting project, thanks for pointing me to this!
