On my application I need to demux a MPEG2 transport stream received from
satellite then send audio decoded frames and video MPEG2 frames to a
hardware device wich will display the A/V frames. This hardware device needs
the PCR value to accelerate or slow down the frame display process in order
to prevent from buffer overflow or empty buffer. All I need to do is to give
the PCR information value (Which should be a part of computation field
(correct me if I am wrong)) to my hardware device.

Thanks in advance.
