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

  847. * <b>capture latency</b>: how long since the data read from

  849. * a port marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
  850. * The data will have come from the "outside

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

  955. * jack_port_get_latency_range (port_fed_by_output_port, JackCaptureLatency, &range);
