Ah, thanks.
These will give me the play-timestamps, right?

Do you mean, no need to PROCESS, not decode.
Don't I have to decode all frames?
If I could not-decode (via the decoder) some of the frames that would
be great and further save cpu. Can I do that, just skip some encoded
frames? Wouldn't that mess up the following frames?

Thanks,
Adi
