That's completely unrelated latency [1]

I can't help you with kvm and windows, that said here are the things
to try:
a. Vanilla qemu
b. No smp
And i'm not saying that those will help, just trying to collect more
data points.
P.S. 4 seconds of latency is sortof insane, especially given that
default buffering for ALSA is nowhere near that, not by a
longest shot.
