PCR ???
it uses PTS, the presentation time stamp, from PES headers.
you know, the time counters running at 90khz clock.

it's a known thing. unfortunatelly it cannot seek in pipes, so the mpeg
format detection code is very simplified when reading from pipes - if it
fails at first it cannot rewind and try again with other format :(

check teh A: and V: values in status line - they are teh PTS values read
from the stream. if they are equal, and you still get desync, it's teh fault
of the stream.

are you playback video+audio over dvb card or screen ?
