not suitable for timestamping in this way. without ntp, it will work
better, but it is still subject to potential non-monotonicity.
But for the purpose of using or generating OSC timestamps
gettimeofday() is the only one that can be used, since
it is the one shared by all concerned (if they ntp).
How bad is this in practice for an ntp client that
has been running for some time (i.e. after the initial)
adjustments) ?
