[alsa-devel] [PATCH] pcm: support for audio wallclock

Yes, this was planned but I wasn't sure how to go about it. These types 
of routines usually rely on hw_params, I guess I could query them and 
check the .info field. Not sure if there's another way.
Also maybe I should change the return type to provide -EINVAL is somehow 
the audio timestamp is not available for a specific device (digital 
input as Clemens mentioned)

Yep

Ok, I have no idea what I am doing here, just copy-pasted to make it work...
