37  * DISCUSSION : SYNCHRONIZATION METHOD
38  *
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 :
46  *
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.
51  *
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.
59  *
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.
