Problem

The stretch model (moq-dev/moq#8507) let audio trail the clock by an untraceable 2 s constant (AUTO_MAX_DELAY) under auto, and by nothing at a fixed delay, so a fixed-delay player had no late audio to catch up on. Not every player wants stretching at all (a pitch-period splice is audible on music).

Approach

One duration, stretch, default 2 s for auto and fixed delays alike; zero turns the time stretch off.

  • js/watch: SyncInput.stretch, PlayerInput.stretch, and the <moq-watch stretch> attribute and property (a duration with a unit, 0 allowed; invalid values throw). The audio subscription asks for max(delay + lookahead, delay + stretch); the ring's bound is that less the delay, or zero when stretch is zero.
  • moq play --stretch (default 2s). The audio subscription opens at delay + stretch and follows the shared delay as it moves (new moq_audio::decode::Consumer::set_max_delay); video with audio enabled waits video delay + stretch and grows with the shared delay as before. Sink::due's bound parameter is renamed stretch.
  • AUTO_MAX_DELAY is deleted in js/watch/src/audio/latency.ts, rs/moq-cli/src/play/args.rs, and the audio-quality capture client.
  • Zero (both rings): no window is stretched, so received audio plays unaltered; a playhead more than one 30 ms window behind the clock skips onto it, and one more than a window ahead pads silence until the clock reaches it. Tested in ring.rs (a_zero_stretch_skips_or_pads_onto_the_clock), ring-buffer.test.ts, and a replay test contrasting zero against the default on a flushed trace.
  • Docs: doc/lib/js/watch.md (new "Catching up"), doc/bin/cli.md, doc/concept/audio-jitter.md, js/watch/README.md, moq play --help.

Impact

  • @moq/watch: additive stretch on SyncInput, PlayerInput, the element (attribute, property, controls.stretch).
  • moq play: additive --stretch.
  • moq-audio: additive decode::Consumer::set_max_delay. playback::Sink::due(at, stretch, jumped): same signature, but a zero stretch now turns the time stretch off rather than only forbidding lag.
  • Behavior: a fixed-delay player now stretches and its audio subscription asks for delay + 2 s; under auto the subscription is delay + 2 s rather than max(2 s, delay). Wire: none (a longer max delay on the audio subscription).

Alternatives

  • Carry the stretch on playback::Input instead of Sink::due: cleaner for a sink with no clock, but the bound already rides each anchor atomically and moq play anchors right after every write, so it would duplicate the value.
  • Keep Rust's audio subscription static at fixed + stretch: under auto the bound would shrink as the target grows, contradicting delay + stretch.

Choices made without asking

  • In a buffered player, audio may trail by the larger of the lookahead and the stretch; zero still turns the stretch off there.
  • JS video retention stays delay + lookahead (it never used AUTO_MAX_DELAY).
  • moq play's sink cap stays the initial budget (fixed or 0 + stretch), so --stretch 0 --delay auto holds 50 ms decoded and the rest of the target encoded, as a fixed delay already does. It is also capped at the opening latency plus 2 s, inside the ring's 3 s headroom, and at Input::LATENCY_MAX, so a long --stretch keeps a target past the ring encoded instead of failing set_latency. The longest hole filled with silence and the opening cushion are bounded by that cap too, so they never overflow the ring and drop the frame after them; at the defaults the cap equals the budget, so nothing changes there.
  • A zero stretch under auto cuts the subscription to the target, so the estimate creeps one bucket at a time; documented, not worked around.
  • moq play's clock now follows the whole measured audio target, capped at Input::LATENCY_MAX as the catalog delay already is, so an advertised jitter cannot hold playback without bound. The browser bounds neither the advertised jitter nor the catalog delay; that is older than this PR and untouched here.
  • Replay budgets: with moq-dev/moq#8531 merged, a missing group waits only the delay plus lookahead, so the longer max delay no longer lengthens hole waits. It still delivers a late group longer before it ages out, which moves only relay-mic: A/V lag p50/p95 0.3 -> 1.6 ms, under one 2.5 ms pitch period. Holding the old 2 s max with the new bound reproduces 0.3 exactly. The nightly browser and native rows, including the fixed-250 control, may move too and were not re-measured.

Walkthrough

The change adds a 2-second default stretch setting to the JavaScript and Rust playback paths, with zero disabling time stretching. Subscription and playback delay budgets now use delay plus stretch. The ring buffers apply the stretch bound when adjusting audio and, at zero stretch, handle clock differences with skips or silence padding. The change also updates public APIs, CLI settings, documentation, tests, and audio-quality budgets.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review a5bea

Playback clock targets driven by advertised jitter are now bounded, so a publisher can no longer hold playback for an arbitrary time. No actionable merge-blocking issue remains from this review.

Explanation

The title names the main change: a new stretch setting that bounds how far audio may trail the clock before it skips. The changeset adds stretch to @moq/watch and moq play, and it sets the audio subscription and ring bound from that value. The feat(watch,play) scope also matches the touched packages. The title is specific and concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is directly related to the changeset. It states the problem with the stretch model and the fix, which is a configurable stretch duration for @moq/watch, the &lt;moq-watch stretch&gt; attribute, and moq play --stretch. It also names the affected files and the removal of AUTO_MAX_DELAY, lists the behavior changes for zero stretch, and reports the tests and checks that were run.

Reviewed changes

  • js/watch stretch plumbing: SyncInput/PlayerInput/element attribute and property, STRETCH, and the new maxDelay()/bound() helpers that feed the audio subscription and the worklet ring.
  • Zero-bound ring path: the bound > 0 gate on the stretcher plus #padding/pad() skip-or-pad-onto-the-clock behavior, in both js/watch/src/audio/ring-buffer.ts and rs/moq-audio/src/ring.rs.
  • Rust budgets: args.max_delay()/video_max_delay() and the sink cap derived from delay + stretch, plus decode::Consumer::set_max_delay and the per-read subscription follow in play_audio.
  • Docs and quest: doc/bin/cli.md, doc/concept/audio-jitter.md, doc/lib/js/watch.md, js/watch/README.md, the generated api reports, and the quest completion.
  • Audio-quality harness: capture.ts taking the budget terms, the ptt.ts warmup compensation, budgets.json re-measurement and note.

I re-ran the replay harness (--enforce) and the changed rows reproduce exactly; every js/watch/src/audio/*.test.ts passes individually (the directory-wide run has pre-existing cross-file isolation failures, and supported.test.ts fails alone on this checkout), and tsc passes for both touched JS packages. Only the two inline notes follow.

- Capture adds the codec warmup to its subscription itself, as the decoder
  does, so the probe and ptt observers both match playback.
- The playout harness shares one reactive budget between the subscriber and
  the container consumer, as the decoder does.
- moq play caps the sink at its latency limit, so a large --stretch keeps the
  excess encoded instead of failing set_latency.
- The jitter doc states what a stretch below 2 s and a buffered player's
  lookahead do to the subscription.

A stretch past the ring's three seconds of headroom let the measured target
exceed what the sink opened with, failing set_latency. The excess now stays
encoded, and the fake sink rejects a latency past the real ring's capacity.

rs/moq-cli/src/play/media.rs:1003-1005
Major · Stability & Availability · Heavy lift

Bound the advertised jitter before it sets the playback clock target.

AudioConfig.jitter has no upper bound. A catalog value of one hour passes AudioConfig::check. Estimator::target() returns measured.max(advertised) + frame, so the advertised value becomes the target. The clock stores that value without a clamp.

At rs/moq-cli/src/play/media.rs:1003-1005, the held target is not clamped by max_delay. The opening cushion at line 643 is clamped. The first write waits at line 1009 until due - cap, so first audio can wait for roughly the whole held target.

The queue-age guard at line 748 also adds schedule.delay(). Its allowance therefore grows with the same advertised value.

A publisher-advertised jitter can delay playback for that broadcast by the advertised span. The subscriber's max_delay setting does not bound this delay.

Apply a finite bound to the advertised term before it reaches the clock target. The bound must still admit measured targets above the opening budget. This needs a design decision on the limit value, so this comment does not propose one.

The clock now follows the whole measured target, so a hostile advertised
jitter could hold playback, and the media it retains, without bound. It is
capped at LATENCY_MAX, as the catalog delay already is. The capture
observer also follows a warmup change on the same track.

CodeRabbit's outside-diff finding on rs/moq-cli/src/play/media.rs:1003-1005 (unbounded advertised jitter setting the clock target) is fixed in a5beab6. This PR made the clock follow the whole measured target. Before, the sink cap bounded it. The target is now capped at Input::LATENCY_MAX, the same bound Demand::hold puts on the catalog delay. audio_caps_a_target_past_the_deepest_delay fails without the cap and passes with it.

  • Capped the decoded target within the sink's ring: play_audio now clamps the sink target to the opening latency plus 2 s and Input::LATENCY_MAX, leaving the excess encoded; the fake sink rejects a latency past the ring's capacity, and a new test covers a 4 s target under a 5 s budget.
  • Moved codec warmup into the audio-quality Capture: the observer adds the rendition's warmup itself, so the probe.ts and ptt.ts traces subscribe for the same span as the decoder; the capture test asserts 2180 ms.
  • Shared one reactive delay budget in the playout harness: the subscriber and container consumer now follow the same signal, as the decoder keeps.
  • Updated the jitter doc and merged main: the page now covers a sub-2 s stretch, the buffered lookahead floor, and the missing-group wait; the merge with main (#8531) also re-measured the replay budgets.

  • Capped the clock's audio target at the deepest sink delay: held now clamps to Input::LATENCY_MAX, so an advertised jitter cannot hold playback past the deepest delay a sink accepts; audio_caps_a_target_past_the_deepest_delay covers a 20 s target sounding at 10 s.
  • Made the capture warmup reactive: the audio-quality observer's track.update reads config.warmup through the effect, so a catalog update moves its subscription with the decoder's.

A --stretch past the ring's headroom let a hole or the opening cushion
write more silence than the ring holds, dropping the frame after it. Both
are now bounded by the sink cap, which equals the budget at the defaults.
The fake sink drops a write past the real ring's capacity.

  • Bounded the hole fill by the sink cap: fill_max now derives from cap instead of the decoder's max_delay, so a hole a long --stretch admits but the ring cannot hold is skipped and the clock re-anchors rather than written as silence whose tail the ring drops along with the frame after it.
  • Bounded the opening cushion the same way: lead clamps the measured target to cap, so a replacement sink's initial silence (and the timeline plan that must agree with it) fits the ring it is written into. At the defaults cap == max_delay, so nothing changes.
  • Modeled ring capacity in the fake sink: FakeSink::write now drops a write that would exceed latency + 3 s, matching the real ring, so a test can observe the overflow.
  • Added a_hole_past_the_ring_is_skipped: a 3 s hole under a 5 s budget asserts the frame after the hole still plays.

I traced the new test against the old bound: the late frame re-pins the clock (Anchor::earlier), the write lands with the 50 ms cushion still buffered, and 3 s of fill plus that cushion exactly fills the 3.05 s fake ring, so the following frame is dropped. With fill_max = samples(cap) the hole is skipped and the sink resets. The same arithmetic gives the invariant the fix relies on — buffered + fill ≤ cap — and cap ≤ latency + 2 s keeps a second of the ring's 3 s headroom for the frame itself.
