  409. * callback.</b>
  410. *
  411. * Clients that meet any of the following conditions do NOT
  412. * need to register a latency callback:
  413. *
  414. * - have only input ports
  415. * - have only output ports
  416. * - their output is totally unrelated to their input
  417. * - their output is not delayed relative to their input
  418. * (i.e. data that arrives in a given process()
  419. * callback is processed and output again in the
  420. * same callback)
  421. *
  422. * Clients NOT registering a latency callback MUST also
  423. * satisfy this condition:
  424. *
  425. * - have no multiple distinct internal signal pathways
  426. *
  427. * This means that if your client has more than 1 input and
  428. * output port, and considers them always "correlated"
  429. * (e.g. as a stereo pair), then there is only 1 (e.g. stereo)
  430. * signal pathway through the client. This would be true,
  431. * for example, of a stereo FX rack client that has a
  432. * left/right input pair and a left/right output pair.
  433. *
  434. * However, this is somewhat a matter of perspective. The
  435. * same FX rack client could be connected so that its
  436. * two input ports were connected to entirely separate
  437. * sources. Under these conditions, the fact that the client
  438. * does not register a latency callback MAY result
  439. * in port latency values being incorrect.
  440. *
  441. * Clients that do not meet any of those conditions SHOULD
  442. * register a latency callback.
  443. *
  444. * Another case is when a client wants to use
  445. * @ref jack_port_get_latency_range(), which only returns meaninful
  446. * values when ports get connected and latency values change.
  447. *
  448. * See the documentation for @ref jack_port_set_latency_range()
  449. * on how the callback should operate. Remember that the @a mode

  848. * <b>capture latency</b>: how long since the data read from
  849. * the buffer of a port arrived at at
  850. * a port marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
  851. * The data will have come from the "outside
  852. * world" if the terminal port is also
  853. * marked with JackPortIsPhysical, or
  854. * will have been synthesized by the client

  856. *
  857. * <b>playback latency</b>: how long until the data

  934. * Such clients would register a latency callback (see

  939. *
  940. * A pseudo-code example will help. The @a mode argument to the latency
  941. * callback will determine whether playback or capture
  942. * latency is being set. The callback will use
  943. * @ref jack_port_set_latency_range() as follows:
  944. *
  945. * \code
  946. * jack_latency_range_t range;
  947. * if (mode == JackPlaybackLatency) {
  948. * foreach input_port in (all self-registered port) {
  949. * jack_port_get_latency_range (port_feeding_input_port, JackPlaybackLatency, &range);
  950. * range.min += min_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from port_feeding to input_port;
  951. * range.max += max_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from port_feeding to input_port;
  952. * jack_port_set_latency_range (input_port, JackPlaybackLatency, &range);
  953. * }
  954. * } else if (mode == JackCaptureLatency) {
  955. * foreach output_port in (all self-registered port) {
  956. * jack_port_get_latency_range (port_fed_by_output_port, JackCaptureLatency, &range);
  957. * range.min += min_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from_output_port_to_fed_by_port;
  958. * range.max += max_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from_output_port_to_fed_by_port;
  959. * jack_port_set_latency_range (output_port, JackCaptureLatency, &range);
  960. * }
  961. * }
  962. * \endcode
  963. *
  964. * In this relatively simple pseudo-code example, it is assumed that
  965. * each input port or output is connected to only 1 output or input
  966. * port respectively.
