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