Hi, three timestamps sounds like a good idea to me, but you might want to reach out to media developers (e.g. gstreamer) who have experience in synchronizing different clocks and what that will actually take. When reading the CPU timestamp, I believe it would be necessary for userspace to tell which clock it should be reading. I'm not sure all userspace is always using CLOCK_MONOTONIC. But if you have a better rationale, that would be interesting to record and document.
