Drive playback timing from audio sample positions instead of packet arrival cadence. Use SPICE multimedia timestamps to anchor streams, detect discontinuities, and estimate the long-term source rate. Ignore their coarse phase corrections when steering the playback buffer. Measure the device clock independently and wait for it to stabilize before enabling a bounded, slew-limited phase controller. Align startup buffering from logical producer and consumer positions so backend startup reserves do not become persistent latency. Size the buffer from the backend period, measured delivery jitter, and resampler delay. Update PipeWire and PulseAudio to report their actual startup requirements and presentation latency. Default to a 10 ms device period with 4 ms of additional buffering, and make detailed synchronization diagnostics opt-in through audio:debug. This reduces startup and steady-state latency while compensating for physical and virtual device clock drift without reacting to transport jitter or SPICE timestamp quantization.
