title: E_UNEXPECTED in MESessionStarted event when topology has two branches
body: <p>I am working on a session topology that records a video (with audio) while showing the video stream with an EVR. I am using SampleGrabber sinks for the video and audio streams so I can easily control when I start/end recording (using a sinkwriter) and extract sample data as I need to (for capturing stills and displaying the microphone's audio level). I am using a Tee node to split the video feed between the EVR and the video samplegrabber, and a copierMFT to deliver samples to the EVR. Both the audio and the video samplegrabbers are marked RATELESS.</p>
  
  <p>Each branch of the topology work by themselves, but when I add both to the topology the media session fails to start, with a status="E_UNEXPECTED Catastrophic Error" set on the MESessionStarted event. That is the only error I find in the MFTrace logs. My camera never turns on and I don't receive any samples in my samplegrabbers. The topology seems to resolve correctly, so I'm not sure what the session didn't expect. The documentation for MediaSession::Start doesn't mention anything about this error. My current guess is that is has something to do with syncing the presentation clock, but setting the samplegrabber output nodes as rateless doesn't seem to help. After I receive the Topology Ready status event, checking the session's clock state returns MFCLOCK_STATE_INVALID.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any special setup required to have a live camera source and microphone source in the same topology? Is there any way to get more info on the E_UNEXPECTED error?</p>
  
  <p>Any help on getting to the bottom of this is appreciated. Here is a snippet of my mftrace log which shows the ready topology and the error:</p>

  <p><strong>UPDATE 1:</strong>
  As suggested by mofo77, I tried creating a new presentationclock with a systemtimesource and setting it as set the EVR's presentation clock. Unfortunately this didn't change anything. </p>
  
  <p>Looking more into the TopologyReady event, I noticed that the clock doesn't have a presentation time source:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-cpp prettyprint-override"><code>IMFClock* pClock;
  hr = pMediaSession-&gt;GetClock(&amp;pClock);
  MFCLOCK_STATE state;
  hr = pClock-&gt;GetState(0, &amp;state);
  //state == MFCLOCK_STATE_INVALID    
  
  IMFPresentationClock* pPresentationClock;
  hr = pClock-&gt;QueryInterface(&amp;pPresentationClock);
  IMFPresentationTimeSource* pPresentationTimeSource;
  hr = pPresentationClock-&gt;GetTimeSource(&amp;pPresentationTimeSource);
  //hr == 0xc00d9c41 : No Presentation Time Source has been specified.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried creating a systemtimesource and setting it on the mediasession's clock, but that also doesn't help. </p>
  
  <p>With only the video branch (or only the audio branch), my samplegrabber receives the OnSetPresentationClock callback. With both added to the topology, this never happens and I get the catastrophic failure status on the MESessionStarted event.</p>
