37 * DISCUSSION : SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
39 * In some cases we can impose the pace of reading (when reading from a
40 * file or a pipe), and for the synchronization we simply sleep() until
41 * it is time to deliver the packet to the decoders. When reading from
42 * the network, we must be read at the same pace as the server writes,
43 * otherwise the kernel's buffer will trash packets. The risk is now to
44 * overflow the input buffers in case the server goes too fast, that is
45 * why we do these calculations :
47 * We compute a mean for the pcr because we want to eliminate the
48 * network jitter and keep the low frequency variations. The mean is
49 * in fact a low pass filter and the jitter is a high frequency signal
50 * that is why it is eliminated by the filter/average.
52 * The low frequency variations enable us to synchronize the client clock
53 * with the server clock because they represent the time variation between
54 * the 2 clocks. Those variations (ie the filtered pcr) are used to compute
55 * the presentation dates for the audio and video frames. With those dates
56 * we can decode (or trash) the MPEG2 stream at "exactly" the same rate
57 * as it is sent by the server and so we keep the synchronization between
58 * the server and the client.
60 * It is a very important matter if you want to avoid underflow or overflow
61 * in all the FIFOs, but it may be not enough.
64 /* p_input->p->i_cr_average : Maximum number of samples used to compute the
65 * dynamic average value.
66 * We use the following formula :
67 * new_average = (old_average * c_average + new_sample_value) / (c_average +1)
