alt Hacker NewsHow does the receive side recover the transmit side's sample clock? There is a BNC for clock sharing between "multiple units", but I'm not sure if that's used / required between transmit and receive.
Or is there no such synchronization, in which case there would be long-term drift?
I think I'm going to have to make a blog post addressing some of the clocking questions that come up. My brief answer for now is that there is only one clock, and that is the ETH-68 clock. The overall data flow is push based; the arrival of a new buffer of data at the Linux host IS the clocking event that schedules an audio graph evaluation. There is no need for another clock on the Linux host.
