kAudioOutputUnitProperty_StartTimestampsAtZero on 10.2.8

At the suggestions of people on this list, I've started rewriting my code using the AUHAL. Since I need to know the current sample time I'm AudioDeviceGetCurrentTime. I need to have that match up with the time passed in to my Render callback. If I set the kAudioOutputUnitProperty_StartTimestampsAtZero property to zero, then this works as expected. However, this constant isn't defined in the 10.2.8 SDK (nor the 10.3.9 SDK) so I assume that it isn't implemented in earlier systems.

I've tried using AudioDeviceTranslateTime() to translate the time but that is not working for me. The code I'm using is the following.

OSStatus RageSound_AU::Render( void *inRefCon,
AudioUnitRenderActionFlags *ioActionFlags,
const AudioTimeStamp *inTimeStamp,
UInt32 inBusNumber,
UInt32 inNumberFrames,
AudioBufferList *ioData )
{
RageSound_AU *This = (RageSound_AU *)inRefCon;
AudioTimeStamp time;

time.mFlags = inTimeStamp->mFlags & ~kAudioTimeStampHostTimeValid;

AudioDeviceTranslateTime( This->m_OutputDevice, inTimeStamp, &time );
ASSERT( time.mFlags & kAudioTimeStampHostTimeValid );

AudioBuffer &buf = ioData->mBuffers[0];
int64_t decodePos = int64_t( time.mSampleTime ) + This->m_iOffset;

This->Mix( (int16_t *)buf.mData, inNumberFrames, decodePos, This- >GetPosition(NULL) );
return noErr;
}

This->m_OutputDevice is set to be the current device of the AU. The assert is firing. I tried using mHostTime both in my GetPosition() function and here but it doesn't work well at all. The video is tied to the audio and when I use mHostTime, the video becomes jerky whereas if I use mSampleTime, it is very smooth.

One additional question: why does

	Float64 latency = 0.0;
	size = sizeof(latency);
	error = AudioUnitGetProperty( m_OutputUnit,
				      kAudioUnitProperty_Latency,
				      kAudioUnitScope_Output,
				      0,
				      &latency,
				      &size );

return 4294956430 for error? I know I can get the latency from the output device itself and it seems that's what I will have to do but this looks like it should work to me.
