I think what they're getting at is asking if there's a rate limit to
time adjustments, without that, saving the last n transition points will
still not cover any given length of history.

As if the ntp code isn't complex enough already - now we're adding
sample histories and adjustment rating limiting?

And all for some unknown DSP in a mythical sound card??

Hehe, I'm just a 'translator' here. But going by you answer I'm taking
it there isn't in fact a rate-limit to adjustments. Which, even if you
were not opposed to that direction, makes it an unfeasible proposition.

Also, I'm not thinking its too mythical, sound/soc/intel/ is full of
audio DSP stuff, I think a newer version will just gain ART support.
