If you meant 50 microseconds, ignore the rest of this post.

50 milliseconds is a *long* time in VoIP. The total mouth-to-ear delay budget is only 150 ms. Adaptive jitter buffer algorithms choose a buffer size that is bigger than the observed delay variation. So the additional delay will be even higher than 50 ms.
