Completes quest/m2/audio-playout/lag-rule.md, deleted here.

Problem

Both players decided playback from NetEq's buffer-level controller: a filtered level against the target, a cooldown, fast mode, and pitch-period splices admitted by correlation. Here the shared clock decides where audio belongs, so that controller rested audio off the clock (up to the newest frame's lateness behind: browser wide 32 to 41 ms, AAC bursty 37 to 47 ms), caught up at the talker's pitch and not at all on music or noise that failed correlation, and needed a jumped side channel to skip clock moves it could not see as lag.

Approach

One rule in both players, decided at every 10 ms hop from the playhead's lag behind the shared clock (doc/concept/audio-jitter.md, "Received-audio time stretch", rewritten):

• Within the stretch threshold (200 ms): play faster or slower at a rate proportional to the lag (lag / 500 ms), capped at 10%. A lag under half a hop is left alone; a splice moves at least half a hop and never overshoots the clock by more.
• Bridge: while the received depth ahead of the playhead is under a cushion of two hops plus one device read, and the lag is under the threshold, slow down at the cap. Splices go at once, within a token-bucket allowance (a 20 ms burst, refilled at the cap).
• Past the threshold (or a window, whichever is larger): skip what trails, pad silence ahead. A buffered player uses the larger of its lookahead and the threshold. A join snaps either way past one hop.
• Splice: WSOLA written from Verhelst and Roelands (1993). Normalized correlation over every channel's samples together (so channels in opposite phase never cancel), searched coarse on an 8 kHz grid, then fine, nearest first. One 10 ms raised-cosine crossfade. Content-agnostic, no admission.

Native (rs/moq-audio ring, playback sink, positioned bus channels) and browser (js/watch worklet ring) share one decision corpus (doc/concept/audio-jitter/stretch/decisions.json, 15 rules) and one PCM corpus (corpus.json, 14 cases at 8/16/44.1/48 kHz, opposite-phase stereo among them). A separate reference generates both, and a test pins them, like the estimator's corpus.

Deleted: the NetEq decision, level filter, cooldown, fast mode, correlation admission, pitch-period splices and their corpus, jumped, and the WebRTC license and patent files (nothing from WebRTC's source remains in js/watch or rs/moq-audio; the estimator was already written from its description).

Fixed along the way:

• The worklet dropped its clock on every latency message. A latency message now carries a clock reading, which the worklet keeps.
• The browser ring started a frame ahead of the clock. It now joins on it.
• The native pad/trim options were dead. The ring's Config now takes Correction::Fixed { pad, trim } or Correction::Stretch.

Impact

• API (Rust): moq_audio::playback::Sink::due(at, stretch) loses jumped; bus::Positioned no longer takes one internally. Migration: drop the third argument, since a reference move is now ordinary lag.
• API (JS): the worklet's Terms lose target, and the latency message gains an optional clock. Both are internal to @moq/watch.
• Behavior: positioned stretched bus channels bridge the tail of a write nothing follows, by up to about 20 ms.
• Wire: none.

Alternatives

• Port Chromium's WSOLA (BSD, needs the license files kept) instead of writing it from the paper.
• Keep NetEq's splices and only drive them by lag (the quest's rejected option).
• Resampling for rate change (shifts pitch).

Decisions

All taken by the agent under /quest-afk, for the maintainer's review:

• WSOLA written from the published description. Rejected: porting Chromium's AudioRendererAlgorithm, which keeps a BSD license in both packages.
• Hop 10 ms, search span 20 ms, window 30 ms. Rejected: a 20 ms hop (half the decision rate, coarser lag).
• Gain 500 ms: 100 ms of lag starts at 2%, and 50 ms or more reaches the cap's half or better. Measured: 199 ms back within a 20 ms frame in 1.77 s, within half a hop in 2.28 s, either way, with no skip or underrun. Rejected: 250 ms (more audible splicing at small lags); 1 s (about 3.5 s to recover).
• Deadband and least splice of half a hop; overshoot of at most half a hop. Rejected: no deadband, which splices every few hundred ms on jitter alone.
• Bridge cushion of two hops plus a device read. Rejected: window plus read, which falsely bridged relay-bbb's 30 ms troughs.
• Bridge splices at once within a token-bucket allowance (20 ms burst, 10% refill). Rejected: a purely paced bridge, measured useless because it acts after the buffer is gone; unbounded urgent splices, which repeated audibly.
• Join snaps both ways past one hop, and a prime-only join skip is not counted as a skip.
• Without a clock, the browser holds; native keeps lag = level − target with a bound of 3/4 of the headroom.
• The latency message carries the clock reading, and target leaves the worklet's terms. Rejected: re-sending the clock separately after every latency message.
• Corpus as 6/7-decimal JSON from a separate reference. Rejected: base64 f32 (unreadable in review); a hand-literal corpus (too small to cover the search).
• Native depth counts decoded PCM, since native decodes everything on arrival.
• The splice's similarity scores every channel's samples together. Rejected: scoring the channel sum, which the review showed cancels to silence on opposite-phase stereo; scoring channel zero alone, which ignores a quiet first channel.
• A positioned bus channel's last write is bridged like a late one (up to about 20 ms longer), since nothing tells an end from a late write. Rejected: suppressing the bridge on a channel about to run dry, which would also stop it bridging real late writes.
• A dry stretched bus channel plays the silence before a write itself, outside its ring (taken during the land fix, Codex's finding): pushed into the ring, that silence counted as received depth and the bridge slowed it, so a write 20 ms ahead started 5 ms late. Rejected: marking pushed silence as unstretchable in the ring, a second kind of queued frame for one caller. A write past a gap also drops the stretch's history, so no splice reaches back to the previous burst (CodeRabbit's follow-up). A 64-case sweep found no such reach-back even without it, since the previous tail's bridge spends the splice allowance, but the boundary no longer rests on that accounting.
• The ring's reader reads its length before the pending resume, in feed and discard (CodeRabbit's finding; discard's copy predates this PR): read the other way, a resume and the next utterance published in between let the reader cross the boundary unseen. No change to the lag rule's decisions.
• Replay underrun counts that rose are re-measured in (bursty-aac 4.4 → 6.6, local-aac 4 → 8.1/min: recorded outages longer than 10% slowing can bridge), per the budget note. Two replay p50s moved within the half-hop deadband (relay-bbb −2 → 2.7, relay-mic-stall 2.2 → 3.1 ms); these are taken as the rule's resolution, not a regression.

Validation

• cargo nextest for moq-audio and moq-cli (705 pass), clippy, bun test for js/watch (614 pass) and both corpora (114 pass), just check (pass), quest check. Replays re-run after the review fixes: unchanged, every row at its exact budget.
• just test audio-quality before (main at fix(watch,play): audio snaps onto the clock past a 200 ms stretch #8675) and after (this branch, merged with feat(audio): count one outage as one jitter observation #8677), on a loaded x86_64 developer host, debug build, seed 7, 60 s rows:

A/V lag p50 / p95 (ms)	before	after
chromium aac bursty	57.7 / 96.8	27.3 / 49
chromium aac wide	42.8 / 77	30.6 / 49.7
chromium opus wide	42.8 / 65.6	35 / 55.6
chromium aac congestion	29.2 / 104.7	31.2 / 62.6
chromium fixed-250 (control)	26.9 / 47.8	27.4 / 48.3
native aac bursty	−1.8 / 77.3	−4.7 / 12.3, −2.8 / 23.7 (two reruns)
native aac wide	23.2 / 62.7	−10.8 / 8.3
native opus step	21.2 / 51.2	−1.8 / 42.6
native aac congestion	−12.7 / 153.5	−4.5 / 130.4
replay bursty-aac	10 / 49.2	0.2 / 0.2
replay local-aac	1.7 / 15.1	−1.3 / 14.3
replay relay-mic-rtt40	0.9 / 2.9	0.6 / 6.9

• Every browser row now rests at 27 to 39 ms. The fixed-250 control rests at the same level, so the remainder is this host's output latency, which feat(watch,moq-audio,moq-cli): place audio on the clock where it is heard #8676 accounts for. Every native row rests within 15 ms of the clock.

• The chromium A/V lag ceilings and native congestion's skip ceiling fail identically on main on this host. Live ceilings are left to the nightly runner. Replay rows are re-measured exactly in budgets.json, with a note paragraph.

• One native aac bursty run raised its target to 2 s from arrival lateness, upstream of the stretch, and skipped. Two reruns were clean.

• Not done, needs the maintainer's ears: listening to speech and music at the 10% cap.

• After the land fix (b13c3d0): cargo nextest -p moq-audio (271 pass), clippy. A new bus test writes 480 frames at 333 to 4000 frames ahead of a dry stretched channel and asserts exact onset; before the fix, a 960-frame gap started at 1200. The resume ordering race needs a producer push between two reader loads, so no deterministic test reproduces it; it follows the ordering resume() documents.

Follow-ups

• feat(watch,moq-audio,moq-cli): place audio on the clock where it is heard #8676 (audio placed where heard) is still open. Once it lands, merge it here or rebase it onto this rule; its fixed-delay underruns are what this bridge slows down for.

Walkthrough

The change replaces NetEq-style windowed stretching with hop-based WSOLA in browser and native audio playback. Stretch decisions use clock lag, received depth, a bound, and read size, with rate changes capped at 10%. Ring buffers apply clock-relative stretching, skipping, and silence padding. Clock messages and sink APIs no longer use the prior jump-duration field. Shared decision and audio fixtures test the implementations. The pull request also updates playback measurements, documentation, and upstream tracking records.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to eff13

The change moves audio playback in both players onto a shared lag-based stretch rule. The reviewed fixes for the resume ordering and the post-gap history are in place. No unresolved merge-blocking risk is identified.

Explanation

The title "Audio follows the clock by its lag alone" matches the main change: both players now drive audio correction from playhead lag behind the shared clock, replacing the NetEq buffer-level controller. The title is specific and describes the primary change, so it passes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the goal (replacing NetEq-style buffer-level control with a lag-based rule shared by both players), explains the approach (proportional stretch, bridging, skip/pad, WSOLA splice), lists the deleted files and API changes, and reports validation. It is directly related to the changeset, so it passes.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the whole diff: the lag-driven decision, the new WSOLA splice in both languages, both rings, the worklet clock plumbing, the spec rewrite and its corpus generator, and the re-measured replay budgets.

• One decision rule in both players: decide in stretch.ts and stretch.rs replaces NetEq's level filter, cooldown, fast mode and admission. It bridges below 2*hop + read, holds within half a hop, and otherwise sets a pace of lag / 500 ms, capped at ±10%.
• WSOLA splice written from the paper: the splice scores normalized correlation over every channel together, searches coarse then fine (nearest first), and spends from a token-bucket allowance (a one-span burst refilled at the cap). The corpus pins it, and both languages and the generator match it.
• jumped removed end to end: Sink::due, Producer::due_frame, the worklet's Clock, and moq-cli's anchor closure all drop it. A reference that moves earlier is now ordinary lag.
• Worklet keeps its clock across latency changes: Latency carries an optional Reading, and setLatency sends a fresh one. It runs from an effect on sync.out.delay, so the reading already reflects the new delay.
• Correction::{Fixed, Stretch} replaces the pad/trim flags plus cons.stretch(rate). On main the old flags were indeed ignored once the stretch was on.
• WebRTC license files deleted: nothing ported from WebRTC remains in js/watch or rs/moq-audio, and no packaging manifest references the files.
• Replay budgets re-measured: the two p50 moves inside the half-hop deadband and the underrun rises on bursty-aac/local-aac are called out in the PR for the maintainer's call.

I ran bun test on the doc stretch corpus (44 pass) and on js/watch stretch/ring-buffer (104 pass). I did not run the Rust tests here.

• Native playhead maps a crossfade the way the browser's does: the new Stretch::ahead() mirrors the JS getter (filled - head - faded * (hop + shift) / hop, rounded), and Consumer::playhead now subtracts it instead of available(). depth() and available() still count output frames, which is correct for them.
• Snap corrects for the crossfade that discard plays out: skip discards late - (ahead - available), which is late less the crossfade's remaining shift, shift * (1 - faded / hop). Once the ring has joined, late exceeds a window and the remaining shift is at most a span, so the discard always runs past the crossfade's end and lands on the clock. The new a_snap_lands_on_the_clock_from_inside_a_crossfade test sweeps that across a backward splice.

I did not run the Rust tests here.

• Ring length read before the pending resume: Consumer::feed now takes occupied_len() before calling resume(), and Consumer::discard bounds each take by the length it read first. The writer stores resume_at and then publishes resume with Release before it pushes the next utterance. So a length that counts frames past a boundary guarantees the resume is visible, and neither path can read or skip across it unseen. The no-stretch fill path and available() already used this order. discard still breaks on an empty ring as before.

• A dry stretched channel now plays its lead-in silence outside the ring: before, a write to a dry channel pushed position - next frames of silence into the ring. That silence counted as received depth, so the bridge slowed it down and the write started late. Now Positioned::write records Stretching.start = position.max(next) and sets origin so that clock(start) equals the ring's consumed(). Feed::read fills start - position frames of silence itself, then reads the ring at clock(position + lead). So the ring starts at zero lag exactly at the write. Writes to a channel that still holds audio leave start alone. After the bus passes start, saturating_sub makes the lead 0. A late write (position < next) keeps its earlier behaviour, starting at next and treating the shortfall as lag. The vacancy check now counts only the written frames, which is correct because no silence goes into the ring. The new test sweeps gaps from 333 to 4000 frames and checks the exact onset.

• A stretched channel forgets its history past a gap: when a write reaches a dry channel past its last frame (position > next), Positioned::write now calls the new Consumer::forget. That calls Stretch::forget (compact(0)) and drops the splice history, so no splice can reach back into the previous burst's tail. A resume already does the same. Contiguous writes (position <= next) keep their history. The ring is empty at that point, so compact(0) only discards frames behind head and changes neither available() nor the playhead. consumed() is still read after the call, so origin is unaffected.

Reviewed the one commit since the prior Pullfrog review (b13c3d0..eff137a). The earlier reviews at 5bf3a72, 12b09ef, a282d5a and b13c3d0 already covered the rest of the diff. The base is still main at 72fd191, and every review thread on the PR is resolved.

• A stretched bus channel forgets its history past a gap: in Positioned::write, a write to a dry channel (ring.available() == 0) with position > next now calls the new ring::Consumer::forget, which runs Stretch::forget (compact(0)). This is safe for three reasons:

  • available() counts what the stretch holds past its playhead. So the guard means nothing is left to play, and only history behind the head is dropped.
  • compact keeps filled - head and any crossfade state relative to the head, so even a held crossfade would survive.
  • The writer reaches the consumer under the mixer lock, as the neighbouring available() and consumed() calls already did.

  A contiguous write (position == next) keeps its history, which is still valid. This matches the boundary that feed and a resume already draw.

I read the whole diff at eff137a, including the latest commit, which drops the stretch's history before a write that follows a gap. I also ran both languages' suites.

• One decision rule, three copies that agree: decide in doc/concept/audio-jitter/stretch/reference.ts, js/watch/src/audio/stretch.ts, and rs/moq-audio/src/stretch.rs matches the rewritten spec line for line: hold when bound <= 0, bridge below 2*hop + read, hold within half a hop, otherwise a pace of lag / 500 ms clamped at ±10%.
• WSOLA splice: the search reads within bounds in both players. low >= -head and high <= queued - hop keep every read in range, and ±allowance <= span keeps the energy scratch (2*span + hop + 1) large enough. The players' queued can exceed a window after a long repeat, where the reference caps it. That never changes a decision, because the allowance already limits a shift to one span (window - hop).
• Rings: both rings snap and pad at the same threshold, which is one hop before the join and max(bound, window) after it. #rewind/#skip in JS and discard in Rust now land on the clock from inside a crossfade. A switch between received audio and declared silence or startup cushion now forgets history, so no splice crosses that boundary.
• Worklet clock: a latency message now carries a Reading taken after the backpressure moves, so the worklet no longer drops its clock on a target change.
• jumped removed and Correction added: every in-repo caller of Sink::due and due_frame is updated. Correction::Stretch maps to the old effective (pad, trim) = (false, false) the stretch flag used to force.
• Bus dry writes (b13c3d0, eff137a): the silence before a write now plays outside the ring, and a write past a gap now forgets the history. The writer already mutates Stretching under the feed's lock, so calling forget() there is safe.
• WebRTC files deleted: no WebRTC source remains in either package, and js/common/package.ts copies notices by pattern, so nothing points at the deleted files.

Tests run here:

• bun test passes for the stretch corpus (44) and, run file by file in js/watch, for stretch, ring-buffer, render-worklet, buffer, playout, and replay.
• cargo test -p moq-audio --lib passes at eff137a (266 pass).
• Before eff137a landed, I also probed the CodeRabbit gap case with a temporary bus test: tone and noise bursts, 78 alignments of dry time and gap, distinct amplitudes before and after. None reached back to the previous burst, which agrees with the PR's note that the trailing bridge spends the allowance. The explicit forget() is still the right boundary.

Still open, and this review can't settle it: listening to speech and music at the 10% cap, which the PR flags for the maintainer.

[moq-bot]

quest land watch: the merge queue removed this pull request at eff137a because its merge_group build failed (failed_checks).

The land fixer works on it in the background, and the watcher re-enqueues it at the back of the queue once it is fixed or judged flaky, or hands it back here with what it needs.

quest land watch: armed auto-merge on this pull request at 8894f8a, so it joins the back of the merge queue once its required checks pass, with the land fixer's fix (codex, gpt-6.1-sol, medium effort): Merged base cleanly and applied only rustfmt wrapping in bus.rs and ring.rs; ran nix develop --command cargo fmt --all and nix develop --command just ci base (passed)..

✅ No new issues found. The changes since the last review are formatting only.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed what changed since the prior Pullfrog review (eff137a..8894f8a): a merge from base and one rustfmt commit. The range diff shows no behavior change.

• Applied rustfmt wrapping: the onset assertion in a_stretched_channel_places_a_dry_write_ahead_exactly in rs/moq-audio/src/bus.rs now spans several lines, and the frames bound in Consumer::feed in rs/moq-audio/src/ring.rs is now one line. Both are the same expressions as before.
• Merged base: it brought no conflicting or new changes into the PR's files.

Every earlier Pullfrog finding has been addressed, so this restores the approval that the push dismissed.
