the frame rate maintaince code is in ffmpeg.c in
if(video_sync_method){

one could say the:
    if (nb_frames <= 0)
        return;

is doing the skiping

This does not work on "FILE *" level it works on frame level.
You need a demuxer first to get the frames out of a file and then you
can in case of intra only codecs skip frames.

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your
right to say it. -- Voltaire
