understood.

But the question of using a different timestamp source is still open in
case of the TSC's frequency not being constant. But i suppose this
question can wait until i figured out how to actually get the timestamp
from ALSA.

It looks like snd_pcm_get_trigger_tstamp() is the right call. And its
implementation would have to be adopted to use RP's
irq_timestamp(unsigned int irq)..

Fons Adriaenssen wrote to me that he tried snd_pcm_get_trigger_tstamp(),
but he always got the same value back. Since the docs are rather sparse
i want to ask the alsa-devs about exactly how to use the
snd_pcm_get_trigger_tstamp() call.

Any takers?
