Heres a third try, the first was transmit_ts with unspecified buffers second was transmit_ts with a single specified buffer
Here now comes the buffer state per syncpoint. It trivially allows the demuxer to find the needed preload, and allows trivial clock synchronization.
Iam not sure how much more or less device dependant this is. It surely looks better if one considers broadcasting at a higher bitrate than the intended one. (lower will fail as with all other proposals)
Also this is the smallest solution so far, and likely also has less overhead than the transmit_ts.
I believe this will work, but you still need to specify a reference model for the buffer management. It will also require more effort on the receiver side to achieve exact clock recovery. With a timestamp transmitted clock recovery is trivial, whereas this will require the receiver to measure the (perceived) received bitrate in order to work out the necessary clock adjustments. -- Måns Rullgård mans@mansr.com
