[mythtv] AddAudioData passed incorrect timecode causes stutter after skip

Hi DEV's,

I'm currently running trunk Revision: 18108 (although I've had this 
problem since using mythtv for HD content) and am experiencing audio and 
video stutter on a certain HD channel.  I am in a PAL area (Australia).

When a skip is performed the timecode passed to 
NuppelVideoPlayer::AddAudioData by avformatdecoder is reset to 0 and 
starts counting up.  This is caused by pkt->pts resetting to 0 and 
counting up.  This causes A/V Divergence to report massively high 
values.  This stutter continues until the timecode is "magically" 
returned to normal values.  The behavior is only bad on one HD channel 
(running 1440x1080) and cannot be replicated on another HD channel 
(running 1280x720).  It can be replicated on a SD channel, but only 
occasionally occurs and corrects itself so quickly that it is very 
difficult to see.

The following code at the end of NuppelVideoPlayer::WarpFactor works 
around the problem at the expense of extended lip sync issues.

     if ((divergence > DIVERGELIMIT) || (divergence < -DIVERGELIMIT)) {
         divergence = MAXDIVERGE;
     }
     return divergence;

At this point I've run out of talent and cannot determine:

a. if pkt->pts is reporting 0 correctly (e.g. if it only gets set to an 
absolute value on a keyframe) ; or
b. if the code that determines this value has a bug (or indeed which bit 
of the code sets the value...).

If someone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Lyall
