Sorry, I probably described the problem in a confusing way... What I 
wanted to say is that you should do something like
	int64_t pts = av_rescale(ist->next_pts, 1000000, AV_TIME_BASE);
instead of
	nt64_t pts = ist->next_pts;

I do not think that defining a new av_gettime2() function just for this 
purpose is a good idea.
