    Thanks for your responses, Henrik. I think your explanations are on spot.

    Yes, but..

    Adjusting the local clock rate to match the AVB network rate is
    essential. You must be able to *continuously* adjust the rate in
    order to compensate drift. Again, there are exactly two ways to do
    it, namely in hardware (think VCO) or in software (dynamic
    resampling).

    What you cannot do is simply buffer the AV data and play it out
    blindly at the local clock rate.

    Regarding the media clock, if I understand correctly, there the talker
    has two possibilities. Either the talker samples the stream at the
    gPTP rate, or the talker must tell the listeners the relationship
    (phase offset and frequency ratio) between the media clock and the
    gPTP time. Please correct me if I got the wrong impression...

    Thanks,
    Richard
