did you check which variant leads to the correct duration ?
i naively thought that as it was before was correct but i didnt check
that so i can very well be wrong

thats andreas commit, 5 years ago, i cannot awnser this

I would suggest something that treats small negative ones as negative
signed but leaves all the rest as unsigned. I dont really know what
"small" should be here but what the file here used was around -10ms
so if we take a common timebase and 10seconds that should hopefully
catch all these negative cases and leave >99% of the space for unsigned
