Actually, I think I have a simple idea to deal with drifting: if the client
streams data too fast we could drop a sample once in a while, and if the
client is too slow we could duplicate a sample once in a while. If the drift
is not too important, it won't be audible. And the implementation is simple:
it's just a matter of scaling linearly the buffer.
It would be very nice if an option could be added to habor to have this kind
of behavior. Unfortunately, I don't know the harbor code well-enough to be
able to implement this. Maybe Romain ? ;)
