## Description

Note: The API in this module is not yet declared stable.

The GstRTPCBuffer helper functions makes it easy to parse and create regular GstBuffer objects that contain compound RTCP packets. These buffers are typically of 'application/x-rtcp' GstCaps.

An RTCP buffer consists of 1 or more GstRTCPPacket structures that you can retrieve with `gst_rtcp_buffer_get_first_packet()`. GstRTCPPacket acts as a pointer into the RTCP buffer; you can move to the next packet with `gst_rtcp_packet_move_to_next()`.

    guint64             gst_rtcp_ntp_to_unix                (guint64 ntptime);

Converts an NTP time to UNIX nanoseconds. `ntptime` can typically be the NTP time of an SR RTCP message and contains, in the upper 32 bits, the number of seconds since 1900 and, in the lower 32 bits, the fractional seconds. The resulting value will be the number of nanoseconds since 1970.

`ntptime` : | an NTP timestamp
Returns : | the UNIX time for `ntptime` in nanoseconds.

### gst_rtcp_unix_to_ntp ()

    guint64             gst_rtcp_unix_to_ntp                (guint64 unixtime);

Converts a UNIX timestamp in nanoseconds to an NTP time. The caller should pass a value with nanoseconds since 1970. The NTP time will, in the upper 32 bits, contain the number of seconds since 1900 and, in the lower 32 bits, the fractional seconds. The resulting value can be used as an ntptime for constructing SR RTCP packets.

`unixtime` : | an UNIX timestamp in nanoseconds
Returns : | the NTP time for `unixtime`.
