[Ffmpeg-devel] av_seek_frame() issues with audio from MPEG-TS

Does this only happen at the start of the file?
Can you check that it also happens when you first seek to somewhere
within the TS file?
I.e., could it be that there simply _are_ no audio frames with a
PTS earlier than your initial video frame.
