Just like ffplay and vlc I use it to get a non wrapping timestamp. As
av_gettime is implemented like my get_time, I could use it instead.

While most of my timestamp use can be re-written to use relative values,
some require more thought. One I can think of, is that in my code vo
reports the time of last vsync it has seen. After a pause, which could
take many hours, some vo do not update the last vsync time so after the
pause a 32-bit value may have wrapped several times. This case I can fix
- the vo have to, when requested to resume after a pause, wait for a
vsync so it can report a current vsync timstamp. I have to carefully go
through my code to see if there are other non-simple cases.
