Hello,
Some years ago there was some talk about UST support in Linux, but the support never happened. With the hrtimers patch (and I'm not quite sure if even earlier?) CLOCK_MONOTONIC would seem like a fairly good UST time source. What I'd like to see, is a selectable clock for ALSA timestamping, e.g. something like snd_sw_params_clock(..., clockid_t clk). Would this seem plausible? I don't know that much about ALSA internals, so, no idea whether different clocks on different pcms/whatever would quickly turn into an unmanageable mess.
We are aware about this extension and I already proposed an implementation. I hope to implement it soon. Timestamps are not used in driver internally.
