49 * This function destroys a input_clock_t created by input_clock_New.
51 void input_clock_Delete( input_clock_t * );
54 * This function will update a input_clock_t with a new clock reference point.
55 * It will also tell if the clock point is late regarding our buffering.
57 * \param b_buffering_allowed tells if we are allowed to bufferize more data in
58 * advanced (if possible).

88 * reference point (a valid reference point must have been set).
90 void input_clock_GetSystemOrigin( input_clock_t *, mtime_t *pi_system, mtime_t *pi_delay );
93 * This function allows to rebase the original system value date (a valid

96 * called imediatly after a input_clock_Update.

109 * after conversion is not before the deadline mdate() + i_pts_delay + i_ts_bound.
110 * It will also return VLC_EGENERIC if the conversion cannot be done successfully. In
