    I've found a way to synchronize the A/V streams with usleep() but I don't think that's the best way to do this. Is there a switch_core.... function to perform a similar task (and maybe allow other tasks to run)?

    Here's the current version of the playback loop (that takes into consideration multiple RTP packets per video frame) :

        u_int64_t videoNext = 0, audioNext = 0;
        u_int64_t ts = 0;

        bool videoSent = true, audioSent = true;
        while (switch_channel_ready(channel))
        {
            bool vOk, aOk;
            if(videoSent)
            {
                vid_frame.packetlen = vid_frame.buflen;
                vOk = vc.getVideoPacket(vid_frame.packet, vid_frame.packetlen);
                if (vOk)
                {
                    switch_rtp_hdr_t *hdr = reinterpret_cast<switch_rtp_hdr_t *>(vid_frame.packet);

                    videoNext = vc.videoTrack().track.get90KTimestamp(ntohl(hdr->ts));
                    hdr->ts = htonl(videoNext);
                    if (pt)
                        hdr->pt = pt;
                }
                videoSent = false;
            }
            if(audioSent)
            {
                write_frame.datalen = write_frame.buflen;
                aOk = vc.getAudioPacket(write_frame.data, write_frame.datalen);
                audioSent = false;
            }

            if (!vOk && !aOk)
                break;

            int64_t wait = min(audioNext, videoNext) - ts;
            if(wait > 0)
            {
                /* wait the time for the next A/V frame */
                usleep(wait * 1000 / 90);
                //switch_core_timer_next(&timer);
                ts += wait;
            }

            if (switch_channel_test_flag(channel, CF_VIDEO) && ts >= videoNext)
            {
                switch_byte_t *data = (switch_byte_t *) vid_frame.packet;

                vid_frame.data = data + 12;
                vid_frame.datalen = vid_frame.packetlen - 12;
                switch_core_session_write_video_frame(session, &vid_frame, SWITCH_IO_FLAG_NONE, 0);
                videoSent = true;
            }

            if(aOk && ts >= audioNext)
            {
                if (write_frame.datalen > (int) write_frame.buflen)
                    write_frame.datalen = write_frame.buflen;

                switch_core_session_write_frame(session, &write_frame, SWITCH_IO_FLAG_NONE, 0);
                audioSent = true;
                audioNext += 90000 / 50; // 20ms
            }
        }

    Btw, thanks for the tip. I'll keep the separate thread to store video for the record function.

    Regards,

    Paulo

we need to get nonblocking reads to the rtp working so the

read_video_frame();
read_audio_frame();

don't block when there is no data.
