I've made 0.1.0.2 the stable version (I think it deserves its name this time). I've also added a 0.1.0.3-dev-1 for you in whihc I don't tell to LMS that my "sample points" (reporting time") are accurate, so LMS has to do a bit of averaging before changing sync. It seems to me that the phase shift effect has diseappeared (probably at the expense of a slower de-sync recovery when a spike happens). Let me know what you think LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
