  * Swresample can buffer data if more input has been provided than available
  * output space, also converting between sample rates needs a delay.
  * This function returns the sum of all such delays.
+ * The exact delay is not neccessarily an integer value in either input or

+ * output sample rate may be a poor choice to represent the delay, similarly
