5 // Timestamps are derived directly from the encoded media file and are commonly
6 // known as the presentation timestamp (PTS).  Durations are a best-guess and
7 // are usually derived from the sample/frame rate of the media file.
8 //
9 // Due to encoding and transmission errors, it is not guaranteed that timestamps
10 // arrive in a monotonically increasing order nor that the next timestamp will
11 // be equal to the previous timestamp plus the duration.
12 //
13 // In the ideal scenario for a 25fps movie, buffers are timestamped as followed:
14 //
15 //               Buffer0      Buffer1      Buffer2      ...      BufferN
16 // Timestamp:        0us      40000us      80000us      ...   (N*40000)us
17 // Duration*:    40000us      40000us      40000us      ...       40000us
18 //
19 //  *25fps = 0.04s per frame = 40000us per frame
