  44  * DISCUSSION : SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
  45  *
  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 :
  53  *
  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.
  58  *
  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.
  66  *
  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.
