Yes, so do I. My point was that if "increase audio delay" were remapped
to "=", as Ivan had requested, I would not be able to continue to do so.

I think the 'correct' solution would be to apply the patch at the head
of the thread and for Ivan (and anyone else who either for some unknown
reason can't get the numeric keypad to work or just doesn't have one) to
make the appropriate modifications to his local input.conf.

To address Ivan's other original point, about "delay is something
relative": this is true, but since the name is "audio delay" it is
reasonable to expect that the audio is what is being delayed - and thus,
that increasing the delay factor will make the audio come later. As
things presently stand that is not the case. Additionally, the
signedness of the argument to the '-delay' option (which sets the
initial delay factor to something other than zero) is presently inverted
from the signedness of the increase/decrease keys, so a change would
have to be made in any case.
