Usenet is the perfect school for proper netiquette and understanding
what is most practical. ;-)

I had wondered myself:
http://lists.ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-user/2016-January/030178.html
(I'm using a "multipart/replace" stream, or whatever that crude MIME
invention is called.)

So the input option "-use_wallclock_as_timestamps" should do the trick,
possibly in combination with "-re".

I don't recall whether ffmpeg could grab the timestamps from the stream
- I believe not. I do know that my stream, coming from "motion", does
not provide a "Last-modified" header or the likes per frame.
