[vlc-devel] demux/live555.cpp Elementary Stream Synchronization.

First, to get a/v synchronization at the client, you *must* be using 
RTCP, as well as RTP.

Second, your presentation times - at the sender - must be aligned 
with 'wall clock' time - i.e., the times you would get if you were to 
call "gettimeofday()".

If your audio and video streams have correct presentation times which 
are aligned with 'wall clock' time, and you are using RTCP, then - at 
the receiver (VLC) end - these same presentation times *will* be 
delivered to the decoding software, and the decoding software *will* 
do a/v synchronization correctly.

No, that's not correct.  (BTW, instead of "sample rate", you mean 
"RTP timestamp frequency".)  The code handles different RTP timestamp 
frequencies (for different streams) just fine.
