I don't know about you but I find everything about computers is hard, that doesn't mean there aren't better or worse solutions.
The browser is the presentation layer, it needs to know the latency of your headphones (or the system does). Why does the content provider need it? What's wrong with "here is frame A, please play audio A at the same time (while taking into account the latency that only you know about)" as a request?
- amluto 7y agoBecause, if the audio latency significantly exceeds the video latency, then the browser can’t do this without delaying the video.
- brigandish 7y agoIt's simply moving responsibility from one entity to another, there's no technical reason that the content provide would be better at syncing the two, just as with any other network communication.
