[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] convergence duration and subtitles

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
when playing http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/sub/fribidi/fribidi_arabic_hebrew_subs.mkv
convergence_duration will be set and valid (and needed to play subs without
an ASS renderer) even for packets that do not have PKT_FLAG_KEY set.
My question is: is the mkv demuxer setting that flag incorrectly,
should we change the documentation as below, or should we change
it to something else entirely?
