			== Re-implememt the netsync module ==

			This module synchronizes more than one VLC instances to play the same media at the same time. Cf. modules/control/netsync.c

			This module was disabled when we switched to the new vlc_clock.

			Your goal will be to rewrite this module from 0, using the new vlc_clock API.

			Tasks to do:
			* Expose the vlc_clock API to control modules
			* Implement the netsync module using the new vlc_clock API
			* Re-use or rewrite the network protocol, depending on its current state (legacy, old code, can it be improved ?)

			'''Duration''': 350h

			'''Requirements''':
			Those will be done in C and it requires familiarity with POSIX network APIs (socket, UDP, TCP, bind, accept, listen...)
