Could maybe someone explain what exactly this is about?
You seem to be talking about two packets with the same time stamp that
a decoder might want to decode differently for each?
That makes no sense to me, if the have the same time stamp, they are
supposed to be displayed at the same time, which makes no sense and the
decoder really should output only one of them...
