Clock source is defined by the server and information about it is shared
to each client (through engine control shm block; jack_control_t). All
related instances have to use the same clock source.

Each instance then calls jack_set_clock_source() to set up function
pointer to the correct clock source (sometimes os and hw specific). This
is global per-instance variable. Applications also call this through
jack_get_microseconds().

jack_get_microseconds() is trying to provide as accurate as possible
monotonic clock with lowest possible overhead.
