Note that current code assumes that the output timestamps from the
filtergraph have the same timebase of the input source.

Anyway I see that since we have to rescale anyway when we put the
frames in the output, it is better to avoid a possible unnecessary
(and potentially lossy) conversion. We can detect the filterchain sink
timebase by directly inspecting its input pad after configuration.

I'll work on a patch for that.
