alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #377 was opened from z-s-e: Unless I overlooked something, it seems not possible for an ioplug plugin to influence the timestamps reported by `snd_pcm_status_get_htstamp()` - I suppose those are rather autogenerated by the lib and thus of fairly low precision. Also, at the moment it is possible that a status update contains newer timestamps than a previous update, but without an increased `snd_pcm_status_get_avail()` value, which makes these autogenerated timestamps not very well behaved. It would be much better if there was a way for a plugin to tell the alsa-lib which timestamps it should forward to the user.
