no it isn't possible

you need to calc it to decide wheter to drop frame or not,
and after the video decoding, you have to calc again to find teh delay to
display.

actually we're very close to the 0.90 release, with a mostly working a-v
sync and framedrop code. i won't do such big changes before the release.

adding an if(){} which doesn't modify the behaviour of other code _at_all_,
is ok, but nothing more.

testing such changes took very long, needs tests on wide range of machines
and drivers.

also, please make separate patches for separate things, this time i could
separate your experimental avsync code from RTF fixes, but you should do it,
send trivial fixes and experimental code in different patches.
