In case the stream is a monitoring stream the result can be negative, i.e. the captured samples are not yet played. In this case *negative is set to 1.

If no timing information has been recieved yet this call will return PA_ERR_NODATA. For more details see pa_stream_get_timing_info() and pa_stream_get_time().
