I'm not sure which "the problem" you're talking about. You mean getting
completely correct RV30/40 frames after a seek is nontrivial? Now the
RV40 decoder seems to show a complete frame from before the seek. At
least that should be avoidable - there's no reason it would have to
produce frames with zero actual content from after the seek.

When testing the rmvb samples from mplayerhq the lavf demuxer also
showed a timestamp problem. Video looked visibly jerky, timestamps
sometimes jumped over some tenths of a second or went backwards. For
example with crash.rmvb the first video timestamps show up as follows in
mplayer -demuxer lavf (with MPlayer's native demuxer the video at least
looks smooth):
0.0
0.1 x4
0.3 x6
0.4 x4
0.5 x2
0.6 x4
