hmm, this didnt work at all... maybe lavf doesnt really understand  
mpeg2 TS very well? it died a few hundred frames in with "too many  
audio packets in the buffer" and there were "duplicate frame!"  
messages every other frame. admittedly there is a dropout in the  
beginning of this recording, which may have hosed it up.

anyway it looks like my theory about the frame display time was  
wrong; things didnt really improve when i hacked the code to keep the  
display time constant. the only thing that has improved my problem is  
hacking the v_timer_corr code to be more tolerant of a wider swing in  
value.
