no, unless the resulting code is simple
actually it shouldnt be that hard
start at 0 continue until the first known timestamp then just
store the difference go back to the first packet and setcur_dtsto the 
difference or something like that ...

i think ffmpeg.c should be changed so its able to deal with a tiny number of
totally wrong timestamps

the question what av_read_frame() should output, well i dont know
starting at a random timestamp shouldnt be differnt from a timestamp
discontinuity but it is it seems ...
rather outputting no timestamp before the first known timestamp is an
option too
