No, whenever a relative time interval is measured, av_gettime_relative() is used and will solve the  stream freezes that you are experiencing on supported platforms.

Windows is not supported now but it could if someone wanted to take a look and modify av_gettime_relative() for Windows. I am no Windows programmer but one possible option could be to use the function QueryPerformanceCounter() which is, from what I have read, monotonic.
