Arun, below is the status of compressed sink:

I was facing some issues in reporting timing to PA client. The compress
library that I am using does provides an API to query playback time from
DSP.  Initially, I thought of adding a new API (for passthrough streams
only)to protocol-native to obtain correct timing from driver. Dropped
that idea,  decided to stuff the timing info in response to
"pa_stream_update_timing_info" info. It seems the timing reporting issue
is resolved now.

?? There should be support to query the time from the compress API, without it the implementation is clearly broken.

Now , I need to look into timing issue in case of seek operation.

This can't be handled in PulseAudio, you have to do it somewhere else (gstreamer)


Apart from this,
* there were couple of changes at gstreamer side (pulsesink) to avoid
packeting data into IEC frames

What? This is needed to force PulseAudio to keep working with its default byte->time conversion. If you removed the padding and packetization the timing will be completely in the weeds

* Introduced new API's to tinycompress to get  device file descriptor
which inturn added to pa_rtpoll_run

can you share this code please?

* Not sure how to calculate sink latency in case variable bitrate

You can keep track of the IEC frames you provided to the sink and work from there: it's constant bitrate. Of course if you removed the IEC framing you are on your own...


Regards,
Kiran
