but if you lose packets at the first recovery: -with the buffer_fullness method you may or may not reach the required buffer size (and possibly not flush, that may not be what the sender expects the receiver to do) - whereas with transmit_ts you are sure that you have to flush all packets with dts < transmit_ts, whatever size they actually amount to
Or I'm missing something?
The demuxer should detect such missing packets and just flush the buffer and retry on initial recovery. This of course would be a disadvantage in terms of preload delay for streams with significant packet loss.
