+ *
+ * <b>IMPORTANT: Most JACK clients do NOT need to register a latency
+ * callback.</b>
+ *
+ * Clients that meet any of the following conditions do NOT
+ * need to register a latency callback:
+ *
+ * - have only input ports
+ * - have only output ports
+ * - their output is totally unrelated to their input
+ * - their output is not delayed relative to their input
+ * (i.e. data that arrives in a given process()
+ * callback is processed and output again in the
+ * same callback)
+ *
+ * Clients NOT registering a latency callback MUST also
+ * satisfy this condition:
+ *
+ * - have no multiple distinct internal signal pathways
+ *
+ * This means that if your client has more than 1 input and
+ * output port, and considers them always "correlated"
+ * (e.g. as a stereo pair), then there is only 1 (e.g. stereo)
+ * signal pathway through the client. This would be true,
+ * for example, of a stereo FX rack client that has a
+ * left/right input pair and a left/right output pair.
+ *
+ * However, this is somewhat a matter of perspective. The
+ * same FX rack client could be connected so that its
+ * two input ports were connected to entirely separate
+ * sources. Under these conditions, the fact that the client
+ * does not register a latency callback MAY result
+ * in port latency values being incorrect.
+ *
+ * Clients that do not meet any of those conditions SHOULD
+ * register a latency callback.
+ *
+ * Another case is when a client wants to use
+ * @ref jack_port_get_latency_range(), which only returns meaningful
+ * values when ports get connected and latency values change.
+ *
+ * See the documentation for @ref jack_port_set_latency_range()

+ *
+ * - How long has it been since the data read from a port arrived
+ * at the edge of the JACK graph (either via a physical port
+ * or being synthesized from scratch)?
+ *
+ * - How long will it be before the data written to a port arrives
+ * at the edge of a JACK graph?
+
+ * To help answering these two questions, all JACK ports have two
+ * latency values associated with them, both measured in frames:
+ *
+ * <b>capture latency</b>: how long since the data read from
+ * the buffer of a port arrived at
+ * a port marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
+ * The data will have come from the "outside
+ * world" if the terminal port is also
+ * marked with JackPortIsPhysical, or
+ * will have been synthesized by the client
+ * that owns the terminal port.
+ *
+ * <b>playback latency</b>: how long until the data
+ * written to the buffer of port will reach a port
+ * marked with JackPortIsTerminal.
+ *
+ * Both latencies might potentially have more than one value
+ * because there may be multiple pathways to/from a given port
+ * and a terminal port. Latency is therefore generally
+ * expressed a min/max pair.
+ *
+ * In most common setups, the minimum and maximum latency
+ * are the same, but this design accommodates more complex
+ * routing, and allows applications (and thus users) to
+ * detect cases where routing is creating an anomalous
+ * situation that may either need fixing or more
+ * sophisticated handling by clients that care about
+ * latency.
+ *
+ * See also @ref jack_set_latency_callback for details on how
+ * clients that add latency to the signal path should interact

+ * It provides the internal cycle timing information as used by
+ * most of the other time related functions. This allows the
+ * caller to map between frame counts and microseconds with full
+ * precision (i.e. without rounding frame times to integers),
+ * and also provides e.g. the microseconds time of the start of
+ * the current cycle directly (it has to be computed otherwise).
+ *
+ * If the return value is zero, the following information is
+ * provided in the variables pointed to by the arguments:
+ *
+ * current_frames: the frame time counter at the start of the
+ * current cycle, same as jack_last_frame_time().
+ * current_usecs: the microseconds time at the start of the
+ * current cycle.
+ * next_usecs: the microseconds time of the start of the next
+ * next cycle as computed by the DLL.
+ * period_usecs: the current best estimate of the period time in
+ * microseconds.
+ *
+ * NOTES:
+ *
+ * Because of the types used, all the returned values except period_usecs
+ * are unsigned. In computations mapping between frames and microseconds
+ * *signed* differences are required. The easiest way is to compute those
+ * separately and assign them to the appropriate signed variables,
+ * int32_t for frames and int64_t for usecs. See the implementation of
+ * jack_frames_to_time() and Jack_time_to_frames() for an example.
+ *
+ * Unless there was an xrun, skipped cycles, or the current cycle is the
+ * first after freewheeling or starting Jack, the value of current_usecs
+ * will always be the value of next_usecs of the previous cycle.
+ *
+ * The value of period_usecs will in general NOT be exactly equal to
+ * the difference of next_usecs and current_usecs. This is because to
+ * ensure stability of the DLL and continuity of the mapping, a fraction
+ * of the loop error must be included in next_usecs. For an accurate
+ * mapping between frames and microseconds, the difference of next_usecs
+ * and current_usecs should be used, and not period_usecs.
+ *
+ * @return zero if OK, non-zero otherwise.
