Any reason we cant have a 64 bit unsigned int for the sample pos, and a seperate field for sub sample acurate positioning which people can use or ignore as they see fit and it doesnt add any extra overhead for plugs that dont need it? And it shouldnt break older plugs when or if sub sample acurate is added latter, if we change the ABSTIME to a fixed point integer latter on it might cause problems? chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Berry" <mberry@xxxxxxxxx> To: <gmpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 12, 2003 10:46 PM Subject: [gmpi] Re: Topic 6: Time representation > Oh my, Tim agreed with me on a time representation issue... :) > > Tim Hockin wrote: > >>that an arbitrary subsample definition, like 60.4 in samples, provides > >>none of the benefits I am looking for and just adds complexity. > > > > > > I agree with that.
