I have created a new patch that changes frame_interval calculation, and 
attached it to the ticket. I also set the buffers to 8 instead of 4. 
With 4 buffers there still was a slight jiggle in the 2x speedup 
playback, that is gone with 8 buffers. See what you think.

FF seems to be working OK with this patch. The failure is rather random. 
The re-init handles it with a slight pause when it does happen. Do you 
think there is any point in trying to change FF to use software decoding?

I think I am almost ready to commit this. First I will do some testing 
on Linux with different playback profiles, and on raspberry Pi, to make 
sure nothing got broken. I want to split it into a few commits to 
separate some things that were not exclusively for mediacodec, and 
separate out the FFmpeg fix. Anything that is logically separate I will 
make a separate commit. I see no sign that Aman plans to commit the 
FFmpeg fix. That needs to be committed to the MythTV private FFmpeg 
repository as well.
