+ * Opaque type representing a time filter state
+ *
+ * The purpose of this filter is to provide a way to compute accurate time
+ * stamps that can be compared to wall clock time, especially when dealing
+ * with two clocks: the system clock and a hardware device clock, such as
+ * a soundcard.

+ * Create a new Delay Locked Loop time filter
+ *
+ * period is the device cycle duration in seconds. For example, at
+ * 44.1Hz and a buffer size of 512 frames, period = 512 / 44100. The filter
+ * only works if the cycle duration is fixed.
+ *
+ * feedback2_factor and feedback3_factor are the factors used for the
+ * multiplications that are respectively performed in the second and third
+ * feedback paths of the loop.
+ *
+ * Unless you know what you are doing, you should set these as follow:
+ *
+ * o = 2 * M_PI * bandwidth * period
+ * feedback2_factor = sqrt(2 * o)
+ * feedback3_factor = o * o
+ *
+ * Where bandwidth is up to you to choose. Smaller values will filter out more
+ * of the jitter, but also take a longer time for the loop to settle. A good
+ * starting point is something between 0.3 and 3 Hz.
+ *
+ * For more details about these parameters and background concepts please see:
