I suppose my question really boils down to this: If I do something like you
suggested:

"you could call repeatedly ds_fill_buffer() until you find the second
I-frame
(in this case save the second pts in priv->something),
then discard all packets (ds_free_packs()) and seek back to the initial
position,"

(which it seems I have to in order to make the samples that only have
timestamps
on I-frame play at all)

then is it acceptable to also override the B and P frame timestamps where
they do exist with calculated values.... and thus avoid the need for
-correct-pts. However the code might be a little more complex and harder to
follow. I'm going to assume the answer to this question is "yes" unless
anyone objects and I hope to submit a patch relatively soon.
