absolutely yes, accessing it directly is the best solution
but libav moves away from this it seems, see
194be1f43ea391eb986732707435176e579265aa
so i assumed that if we want to stay compatible to that API its better
to make similar changes to our code
and the timebase field with that new API only permits access to one
of the timebases depening on when its accessed and its the wrong one
for our code in some cases ...

better ideas are certainly welcome

There will always be a question for which you do not know the correct answer.
