Hi all, The pipeline we are using in Galicaster is rather different than the one used in the standard capture agent in many ways, the first one coming to my mind being the fact that Galicaster needs to provide video feedback and the CA doesn't.
Still, I will take a look and see if we can commit some changes to improve the synchronization quality. I cannot guarantee though. The pipeline used is in the code of Galicaster, available at www.galicaster.org . Sorry I cannot be more specific right now. When I have some spare time I'll try to document myself on this topic and try to apply a patch based on our research in Galicaster, if that's feasible without altering the current CA pipeline too much. Does this sound reasonable?
