Ok, so give me the ART/audio and two recent ART/ptp times* spaced one
second apart, then I'll tell you audio/ptp with error well under 1 PPM.
No need to change the firmware.

Who cares about the system time? If the DSP isn't using it, then just
leave it out of the equation.

Thanks,
Richard

* If the audio clock isn't locked to the ART, then I'll need two samples.
