On the the plot, the green line is the gain only implementation and the red line is the gain + filter implementation provided in the second patch revision. The control loop will settle in around the process mean which includes the jitter / noise so it may have a little zero offset but this should not be enough to be evident for the user.

Out of curiosity - could that zero offset be estimated?

I ask because at some point I would like to test adding a couple of
additional a/v sync adjustments - and clearly the greater the accuracy
the better.

The first adjustment is to account for FFmpeg hardware deinterlacers
(currently only VAAPI VVP - but may add NVDEC soon) that do a little
buffering. As they are processed after a/v sync, we will need to pass
back an offset - probably on the next pass.

The second is to handle a/v sync adjustments that are
required/reported by displays via the EDID. I recently added some EDID
parsing to our code and it only requires a few extra lines to parse
out the sync adjustments required when displaying with interlaced and
progressive modelines.
