[Live-devel] sync sample issue with flash players

OK, I've now released a new version (2009.07.28) of the "LIVE555 
Streaming Media" software that includes this change.

However, I changed your suggested code so that it adds the "stss" 
atom only for video streams.  (For audio streams, such an atom 
doesn't appear to make sense (see 
<http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=QuickTime_container#stss>), 
and would lead to an extremely large number of entries anyway.)

Also, I'm rather nervous about the assumption that 'key frames' occur 
every 12 frames in each video stream.  This might be true for 
ffmpeg-generated H.264 streams, but or many (if not most) other video 
streams, that won't be the case, so I'm worried about what this might 
break.  So if anyone runs into any problems with this change, please 
let us know.
