Detailed Description

Absolute time reporting.

Nodes that can report clocking information will receive this io block. The application sets the id. This is usually set as part of the position information but can also be set separately.

The clock counts the elapsed time according to the clock provider since the provider was last started.

Driver nodes are supposed to update the contents of SPA_IO_Clock before signaling the start of a graph cycle. These updated clock values become visible to other nodes in SPA_IO_Position. Non-driver nodes do not need to update the contents of their SPA_IO_Clock.

The host generally gives each node a separate spa_io_clock in SPA_IO_Clock, so that updates made by the driver are not visible in the contents of SPA_IO_Clock of other nodes. Instead, SPA_IO_Position is used to look up the current graph time.

A node is a driver when spa_io_clock::id in SPA_IO_Clock and spa_io_position.clock.id in SPA_IO_Position are the same.

Field Documentation

flags

uint32_t spa_io_clock::flags

Clock flags.

id

uint32_t spa_io_clock::id

Unique clock id, set by host application.

nsec

uint64_t spa_io_clock::nsec

Time in nanoseconds against monotonic clock (CLOCK_MONOTONIC).

This fields reflects a real time instant in the past. The value may have jitter.

rate

struct spa_fraction spa_io_clock::rate

Rate for position/duration/delay/xrun.

position

uint64_t spa_io_clock::position

Current position, in samples @ rate.

duration

uint64_t spa_io_clock::duration

Duration of current cycle, in samples @ rate.

Examples

audio-dsp-filter.c, and audio-dsp-src.c.

delay

int64_t spa_io_clock::delay

Delay between position and hardware, in samples @ rate.

rate_diff

double spa_io_clock::rate_diff

Rate difference between clock and monotonic time, as a ratio of clock speeds.

next_nsec

uint64_t spa_io_clock::next_nsec

Estimated next wakeup time in nanoseconds.

This time is a logical start time of the next cycle, and is not necessarily in the future.

target_rate

struct spa_fraction spa_io_clock::target_rate

Target rate of next cycle.

target_duration

uint64_t spa_io_clock::target_duration

Target duration of next cycle.

target_seq

uint32_t spa_io_clock::target_seq

Seq counter.

must be equal at start and end of read and lower bit must be 0

padding

uint32_t spa_io_clock::padding

xrun

uint64_t spa_io_clock::xrun

Estimated accumulated xrun duration.
