The open id disambiguates this and should be used whenever referring to a
recording that may be unflushed.
*ppm:* Part Per Million. Crystal Clock accuracy is defined in terms of ppm or
parts per million and it gives a convenient way of comparing accuracies
of different crystal specifications. "A typical crystal has an error of
100ppm (ish) this translates as 100/1e6 or (1e-4)...So the total error on a day
is 86400 x 1e-4= 8.64 seconds per day. In a month you would loose
30x8.64 = 259 seconds or 4.32 minutes per month."
