Valid points. Yep, my suggestion fixes sync on frame-scale
approximation, not on the scale of single samples. The average pts
delta trick is even more far from being perfectly precise. But in my
practice it looked good.
This is very interesting issue.
With respect to points you gave, i see no other possibility than
managing it on application level, and aligning all AVStreams to same
pts after discontinuity detection. This may be padding audio with
silence, padding video with black frames or by duplicating last frame,
or cutting off "spare" frames from the queue of stream which has last
pts higher than others, thus again aligning all streams to same pts.
