You may be on to something - I hadn't thought to look at the FFmpeg
deinterlacers. They manipulate timestamps when run at double rate and
as the filtering happens before the a/v sync - it could lead to drift
if there is any small loss in precision.

John - does that tie up with what you are seeing?
