I was hoping someone could answer why this was changed.

It looks like all my ogg files have this problem in the audio stream only, 
but it may be effecting other formats. Mostly it looks ok with other formats 
but not sure.

The value in first_dts may be exactly RELATIVE_TS_BASE as in the following 
sample or RELATIVE_TS_BASE minus some unknown.
