if this would also work with timestamp discontinuities within files
(possibly through a full demux scan through the file and possibly
 also through caching of the timestamp info in some file)
then this would allow timestamp accurate seeking in mpeg-ts/ps with
discontinuities. At the cost of some startup delay
this could be quite usefull sometimes i think ...

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