Simple, I know what packet I just played. That gives me the "time". The
jitter buffer actually makes no difference (and doesn't attempt to)
between an increase in the network delay and a drift in the soundcard
clocks. It just increments or decrements the buffer size to make sure
the packets spend the least amount of time in the buffer (before being
player), while not having too many lost packets.
