Adding it would be easy, but what would you make the filter do
differently if it existed? If the goal is to generate pts suitable for
use in the output file then the current behavior seems correct (ignore
jumps in source material pts caused by seeks). If the goal is to correct
bad pts values in the source to allow syncing with external timestamps
for subtitles etc then where do you get the correct value to use after
seeking? Would you have some kind of list "after first seek start
timestamps from A, after second seek from B..."? Might work but seems
cumbersome and fragile.
