if you are wondering about the order of execution fo the callbacks, then note

is there a recipe for that already?

Not really, but using priorities is generally straightforward.

Something that occured to me is that ev_periodic sounds like the right thing
when you want to play somehting at a specific (wallclock) time, but your
problem sounds more like requiring specific inter-packet delays, in which
case an ev_timer would be the right thing (it isn't affected by time jumps).

The problem is that we need both. The rtsp play receives (among the other things) a time reference about when to start playing, then you are supposed to send packets at variable delays, I just used an ev_periodic to do both...


I wrote a bare loop that is more or less what I'd like to archive and I got the behavior I'd expect so I guess there is something wrong somewhere else in the code, sorry for the noise =)

While I still don't know whether that's the problem or not, it is vaguely
planned to make timer/perodioc invocation order cosnistent with their
timeout value in some future version.

Sounds nice =)
