Resulting Round Trip Latency

Hi,
Trying to figure out this recording delay thing

I am using a m-audio firewire solo interface and under the audio preferences it says the resulting roundtrip latency is 10.6milliseconds

I am recording in 44.1kHz which means 44 samples in 1 second

Now should i multiply 10.6 x 44 samples = 466 and put that as the recording delay???
Also im guessing it has to be -466 right? instead of 466

I have seen alot of tutorials on how to find out your latency but they are long and time consuming and if logic pro tells you the latency in milliseconds couldn't you just do the math to find out the recording delay???

Seems like alot of people are having trouble finding out what to put it at, so can any experts help me out who actually knows about this. I am only guessing here because i have found no easy solution anywhere

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

It is the audio driver "Buffer Size" setting which is used when you play say software instrument, using processing "software monitoring" etc.
The buffer is not applied on the real recording so I do not see a reason to compensate... Some audio devices show that in samples 512(11.6ms), 256(5.8ms) etc.
