[Live-devel] Play out PCR from gettimeofday rather than source stream?

No, not really, and this is a bad idea anyway.  The PCR values that 
were inserted in the files at the time that they were encoded will 
always be more accurate (and better for decoders to use) than values 
derived from 'gettimeofday()'.

Instead, you should make sure that your TS files have the 
'discontinuity_indicator' flag set at the start.  Our 
"MPEG2TransportStreamFramer" code recognizes this flag, as should the 
decoder in your STB.
