Media transport (RTSP) and clock synchronisation (PTP) are two
orthogonal problems :) You can also use a PTP clock together with RTSP.


Is your goal to synchronise multiple receivers? Or synchronise sending
from multiple senders? Or to transfer accurate timestamps as metadata?

You probably want to watch my talk from this year's GStreamer
conference once the videos are uploaded. It was about exactly this
topics :)
