About 10 ms is the maximum latency that can be tolerated in music applications. Preferably it should be around 5 ms. If you're a musician, you can easily notice when the sound doesn't come out when you press your finger on the keyboard or sing to a microphone. 5 ms is not noticeable at all, 10 ms feels a bit off but is tolerable, above 25 ms is clearly noticeable and very annoying (ie. it's no longer a musical instrument).
