Indeed, thanks !

Further investigation (printing the incremented counter of frames in 
av_find_stream_info()) shows that it takes a fairly large number of 
frames to decide, unless an EOF occurs I guess. But in RTP/UDP there's 
no EOF of course, and I was repeatedly streaming the same short 
sequence, so when the seqnum/timestamps had a discontinuity, maybe the 
guessing work was reset...

Anyway, streaming a longer sequence works.

A few ancillary questions:

1) This means all those frames are accumulated in memory, right ?

2) What extra info could I have provided (eithr in the SDP or in 
command-line options) so that this guessing work be avoided ?
