MTC is a different encoding of the same data. SMPTE is an audio signal that has be decoded to get time values; MTC is a MIDI event stream that has be decoded to get time values. the underlying timeline and the resolution of both of them are the same. i don't like MTC either as a mechanism to share an audio timeline. audio has a resolution of 1 sample. our world has been polluted by film and video people who think that 1/30th of a second is accurate enough. yeah, ok so they added 1/3000th later (subframes) but who uses it? i have nothing against MTC or SMPTE for transport synchronization. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
