Even if it is indeed an error (which I do not agree: the output time base is
better than the input), it is not an error caused by the patch we are
discussing, so stop bringing it up.

Please show me: Mr X is writing a trivial video player. His code has just
called avcodec_decode_video2:

	avcodec_decode_video2(..., &frame, ...);
	if (error || !got_frame) continue;
	frame_pts = ???;
	usleep(frame_pts - now);
	display_frame(frame);

Please show me what should go instead of "???" to work with any correct file
with most supported containers.
