you know that this h264 timestamp issue is one of the more obnoxious and
complex issues ...

More parsing code is likely not too hard to get into svn, the field combine
code may be very hard to get in. Basically i must awnser the question if
the alternative of treating fields seperately (which is what h264 wants)
is really hard enough to justify that we do that hack. And if that hack
wont bite us, i mean there are unpaired fields and such in the spec ...

also besides the point the parser may not drop fields that arent pairable
