Comment(by robert.mcnamara at gmail.com):

 Thanks to some big help from Gnome42 in #mythtv, this syncs Myth's version
 of replex to the latest available.  It unfortunately does *not* solve this
 bug (although it does appear to introduce some AC3 fixing routines which
 is kind of nice).  For anyone looking seriously to fix this bug, the
 primary issue appears to be broken (negative) PTS's in the stream.  I have
 found some references in ancient discussions about a possibly implementing
 a "big hammer" solution to this kind of problem where, after a certain
 number of PTS discrepancies, mythtranscode would give up and keep a
 running count instead.  As it stands, mythtranscode simply gives up after
 20 unfixable PTS discrepancies.

 Geoff, any chance of your coming out of retirement and taking a quick look
 at this one?  If you've moved on from myth, no worries, but any chance of
 touching base so we can see if someone else can take ownership of this
 bug?
