this should be considered a bug and reported as such to the FFmpeg group
(preferably with a patch to make it use clock_gettime() if available).
gettimeofday is a non-linear, non-mononotic clock if ntp is used. it is
not suitable for timestamping in this way. without ntp, it will work
better, but it is still subject to potential non-monotonicity.
