 *
 * <b>IMPORTANT: Most JACK clients do NOT need to register a latency
 * callback.</b>
 *

 * need to register a latency callback:
 *
 *    - have only input ports
 *    - have only output ports
 *    - their output is totally unrelated to their input
 *    - their output is not delayed relative to their input
 *        (i.e. data that arrives in a given process()
 *         callback is processed and output again in the
 *         same callback)
 *
 * Clients NOT registering a latency callback MUST also
 * satisfy this condition:
 *
 *    - have no multiple distinct internal signal pathways
 *
 * This means that if your client has more than 1 input and
 * output port, and considers them always "correlated"
 * (e.g. as a stereo pair), then there is only 1 (e.g. stereo)
 * signal pathway through the client. This would be true,
 * for example, of a stereo FX rack client that has a
 * left/right input pair and a left/right output pair.
 *
 * However, this is somewhat a matter of perspective. The
 * same FX rack client could be connected so that its
 * two input ports were connected to entirely separate
 * sources. Under these conditions, the fact that the client
 * does not register a latency callback MAY result
 * in port latency values being incorrect.
 *
 * Clients that do not meet any of those conditions SHOULD
 * register a latency callback.
 *
 * Another case is when a client wants to use
 * @ref jack_port_get_latency_range(), which only returns meaningful
 * values when ports get connected and latency values change.
 *
 * See the documentation for @ref jack_port_set_latency_range()
 * on how the callback should operate. Remember that the @a mode
 * argument given to the latency callback will need to be

/**
 * @defgroup LatencyFunctions Managing and determining latency
 * @{
 *
 * The purpose of JACK's latency API is to allow clients to
 * easily answer two questions:
 *
 * - How long has it been since the data read from a port arrived
 *   at the edge of the JACK graph (either via a physical port
 *   or being synthesized from scratch)?
 *
 * - How long will it be before the data written to a port arrives
 *   at the edge of a JACK graph?

 * To help answering these two questions, all JACK ports have two
 * latency values associated with them, both measured in frames:
 *
 * <b>capture latency</b>: how long since the data read from
 *                  the buffer of a port arrived at
 *                  a port marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
 *                  The data will have come from the "outside
 *                  world" if the terminal port is also
 *                  marked with JackPortIsPhysical, or
 *                  will have been synthesized by the client
 *                  that owns the terminal port.
 *
 * <b>playback latency</b>: how long until the data
 *                   written to the buffer of port will reach a port
 *                   marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
 *
 * Both latencies might potentially have more than one value
 * because there may be multiple pathways to/from a given port
 * and a terminal port. Latency is therefore generally
 * expressed a min/max pair.
 *
 * In most common setups, the minimum and maximum latency
 * are the same, but this design accommodates more complex
 * routing, and allows applications (and thus users) to
 * detect cases where routing is creating an anomalous
 * situation that may either need fixing or more
 * sophisticated handling by clients that care about
 * latency.
 *
 * See also @ref jack_set_latency_callback for details on how
 * clients that add latency to the signal path should interact
 * with JACK to ensure that the correct latency figures are
 * used.
 */

 * for a client controlling a digital audio interface connected
 * to an external digital converter, the latency setting should
 * include both buffering by the audio interface *and* the converter.

 * value of the latency using @ref jack_port_get_latency_range()
 * (called using the same mode as @a mode)
 * and then add some number of frames to that reflects
 * latency added by the client.
 *
 * How much latency a client adds will vary
 * dramatically. For most clients, the answer is zero
 * and there is no reason for them to register a latency
 * callback and thus they should never call this
 * function.
 *
 * More complex clients that take an input signal,
 * transform it in some way and output the result but
 * not during the same process() callback will
 * generally know a single constant value to add

 * Such clients would register a latency callback (see
 * @ref jack_set_latency_callback) and must know what input
 * ports feed which output ports as part of their
 * internal state. Their latency callback will update
 * the ports' latency values appropriately.
 *
 * A pseudo-code example will help. The @a mode argument to the latency
 * callback will determine whether playback or capture
 * latency is being set. The callback will use
 * @ref jack_port_set_latency_range() as follows:
 *
 * \code
 * jack_latency_range_t range;
 * if (mode == JackPlaybackLatency) {
 *  foreach input_port in (all self-registered port) {
 *   jack_port_get_latency_range (port_feeding_input_port, JackPlaybackLatency, &range);
 *   range.min += min_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from port_feeding to input_port;
 *   range.max += max_delay_added_as_signal_flows_from port_feeding to input_port;
 *   jack_port_set_latency_range (input_port, JackPlaybackLatency, &range);
 *  }
 * } else if (mode == JackCaptureLatency) {
 *  foreach output_port in (all self-registered port) {
 *   jack_port_get_latency_range (port_fed_by_output_port, JackCaptureLatency, &range);

 *   jack_port_set_latency_range (output_port, JackCaptureLatency, &range);
 *  }
 * }
 * \endcode
 *
 * In this relatively simple pseudo-code example, it is assumed that
 * each input port or output is connected to only 1 output or input
 * port respectively.
 *
 * If a port is connected to more than 1 other port, then the
 * range.min and range.max values passed to @ref

/**
 * This function may only be used from the process callback.
 * It provides the internal cycle timing information as used by
 * most of the other time related functions. This allows the
 * caller to map between frame counts and microseconds with full
 * precision (i.e. without rounding frame times to integers),
 * and also provides e.g. the microseconds time of the start of
 * the current cycle directly (it has to be computed otherwise).
 *
 * If the return value is zero, the following information is
 * provided in the variables pointed to by the arguments:
 *
 * current_frames: the frame time counter at the start of the
 *                 current cycle, same as jack_last_frame_time().
 * current_usecs:  the microseconds time at the start of the
 *                 current cycle.
 * next_usecs:     the microseconds time of the start of the next
 *                 next cycle as computed by the DLL.
 * period_usecs:   the current best estimate of the period time in
 *                  microseconds.
 *
 * NOTES:
 * 
 * Because of the types used, all the returned values except period_usecs
 * are unsigned. In computations mapping between frames and microseconds
 * *signed* differences are required. The easiest way is to compute those
 * separately and assign them to the appropriate signed variables,
 * int32_t for frames and int64_t for usecs. See the implementation of
 * jack_frames_to_time() and Jack_time_to_frames() for an example.
 * 
 * Unless there was an xrun, skipped cycles, or the current cycle is the
 * first after freewheeling or starting Jack, the value of current_usecs
 * will always be the value of next_usecs of the previous cycle.
 *
 * The value of period_usecs will in general NOT be exactly equal to
 * the difference of next_usecs and current_usecs. This is because to
 * ensure stability of the DLL and continuity of the mapping, a fraction
 * of the loop error must be included in next_usecs. For an accurate
 * mapping between frames and microseconds, the difference of next_usecs
 * and current_usecs should be used, and not period_usecs.
 *
 * @return zero if OK, non-zero otherwise.
