/**
 * @defgroup PJMEDIA_PORT_CLOCK Clock/Timing
 * @ingroup PJMEDIA_PORT
 * @brief Various types of classes that provide timing.
 * @{

 The media clock/timing extends the media port concept that is explained 
 in @ref PJMEDIA_PORT. When clock is present in the ports 
 interconnection, media will flow automatically (and with correct timing too!)
 from one media port to another.
 
 There are few objects in PJMEDIA that are able to provide clock/timing
 to media ports interconnection:

 - @ref PJMED_SND_PORT\n
   The sound device makes a good candidate as the clock source, and
   PJMEDIA @ref PJMED_SND is designed so that it is able to invoke
   operations according to timing driven by the sound hardware clock
   (this may sound complicated, but actually it just means that
   the sound device abstraction provides callbacks to be called when
   it has/wants media frames).\n
   See @ref PJMED_SND_PORT for more details.

 - @ref PJMEDIA_MASTER_PORT\n
   The master port uses @ref PJMEDIA_CLOCK as the clock source. By using
   @ref PJMEDIA_MASTER_PORT, it is possible to interconnect passive
   media ports and let the frames flow automatically in timely manner.\n
   Please see @ref PJMEDIA_MASTER_PORT for more details.
