[Bluez-devel] a2dpd and mplayer - any chance to get it working?

Hi,

I was wondering whether it is possible to make the a2dp alsa plugin supply
correct audio timing to applications like MPlayer. Right now, MPlayer does
not work with a2dpd because it relies on the audio driver to report accurate
audio timing information (or something like that).

If a2dpd could measure the delay introduced on the wireless transport, it
might be possible to supply timing information to media players. The player
could then sync the video to the audio data, so there should be no delay at
all between audio and video playback.

Is there something I am missing?
What changes to the alsa plugin would be necessary?

Even if the delay can't be determined exactly, we could just fake that
information MPlayer is missing, so that a2dpd at least worked together with
MPlayer (with a small delay, maybe)?

Regards,
Robert
