Hmm... first of all, controls on V4L2 API can either be get or set.
So, starting the sentence with "Set" sounds an assumption that may
be wrong.

Also, I would explain a little bit more about the frequency offset values,
as clock drift adjustment on PCM streams is something that can be done
using different approaches.

I'm assuming that what you wanted here is to use it to check if the
video and audio clocks have some drift, and reducing or increasing
the audio sample rate dynamically to ensure that such drift will
stay constraint to a maximum allowed drift measured in mili or nano
seconds. So, userspace would be expected to be monitoring such drift
and increasing/decreasing the sample frequency as needed to maintain
such constraint.

Is that the way such uAPI is expected to work?
