I had a look, and it seems like module-tunnel is tries to report pretty accurate latency, and module-combine-sink in turn is supposed to synchronize the outputs if they provide valid latency information. So it looks like this should work, without any parameter tuning. Unfortunately, if it doesn't work, I don't have much ideas for making it work. How big is the delay between the two outputs? If you let it play for a while, does it get better? -- Tanu
