Subject: [PATCH 140/703] bcm2835: interpolate audio delay
It appears the GPU only sends us a message all 10ms to update
the playback progress. Other than this, the playback position
(what SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DELAY will return) is not updated at all.
Userspace will see jitter up to 10ms in the audio position.
Make this a bit nicer for userspace by interpolating the
position using the CPU clock.
I'm not sure if setting snd_pcm_runtime.delay is the right
approach for this. Or if there is maybe an already existing
mechanism for position interpolation in the ALSA core.
I only set SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH because this appears to remove
at least one situation snd_pcm_runtime.delay is used, so I have
to worry less in which place I have to update this field, or
how it interacts with the rest of ALSA.
In the future, it might be nice to use VC_AUDIO_MSG_TYPE_LATENCY.
One problem is that it requires sending a videocore message, and
waiting for a reply, which could make the implementation much
harder due to locking and synchronization requirements.
