Start time does not work like this for any other format and it should not.
We don't expect people to wait for hours, days or whatever for their DVB
stream to start playback, just because the MPEG timestamps start somewhere
in the middle, do we?
There should only be a delay if there's a difference between audio and video
start time, however neither plays.
I have the suspicion that actually the pts of the first frame is 0, and only
the one after that has the "start_time" offset.
