While looking at avformatdecoder.cpp:

There is a lock around avcodec_decode_video, but not around
avcodec_decode_audio?

lastapts/temppts is calculated, shouldn't pkt->pts be used if available?

If the stream has b-frames, every non-b-frame will receive the previous
value of a non-b-frame?

                   long long temppts = pts;

                    if (context->has_b_frames && mpa_pic.pict_type !=
FF_B_TYPE)
                    {
                        temppts = video_last_P_pts;
                        video_last_P_pts = pts;
                    }

                    if (temppts != 0)
                        lastvpts = temppts;
                    else
                        temppts = lastvpts;
