Ok so clocksync adds timestamp and we can wait start until first sample. I
thought audiorate also did this?
And is it still the case that fdsrc do-timestamp=true" does not actually
add a timestamp?

Ok so now we have timestamped bytestream (audio or not does not matter)
andwe can add a ts offset, even negative if needed.

But how does the processing dead-line work. If we set that to lets say
100ms, does it mean that the sink (lets use alsasink as a case study), does
start process and output the first sample until after 100ms and
subsequently on average, any sample received after that can be up to 100ms
delayed accoding to a prefect stream thus in effect have a jitterbuffer of
100ms. Is that what you mean and how it works?

Thanks for taking the time.
