Luckily the audio industry as solved this problem, and they use PTP as the clocking mechanism for AES67 (kind of the bastard child of Ravenna and Dante, but with a fully open* AoIP protocol) that's designed for handling all the hard parts of sync'ing audio over a network. And it's used everywhere these days, but mostly in venues/stadiums/theme parks.

* open if you pay membership dues to the AES or buy the spec

Hopefully wifi8 has something PTP built-in. I hear there's some vague hope that better timing info is one of the core pieces, so maybe maybe!

I'm super jazzed seeing AES67 emerge.. although it not working great over wifi for lack of proper timing info hurts. Very understandable for professional gear, but there's nothing I love more than seeing professional, prosumer and consumer gear blend together!

PipeWire already has pretty decent support! There's a tracker where people report on with their hardware experiences trying it. Some really really interesting hardware shows up here (and elsewhere on the gitlab): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/32...

Well, AES67 isn't a great secret... It's just RTP with PTPv2, with some predefined codec, sample rate, and fpp options.
