You did not give enough details to judge, but I will try to extrapolate. This change would be useful for an application that receives live broadcast streams, from a source that may be corrupted, but that uses wallclock timestamps, synchronized with the client application and with no network delay, and that cannot fiddle with timestamps itself. It seems awfully specific. Too specific for a change in the core workings of the library. > In my target use-case Stop. We are not speaking of your target use case, we are speaking of a change in the core components of the library. It should be designed to be useful for more than your own use case.
