I'm not sure why you would need to do this.  What source for frame_number are 
you using - it's not in any of the AV structures.  If you want the time 
simply read Packet.pts; why calculate it when it's already there?

If you are trying to seek, you would want to seek a time anyway.  Maybe a 
percentage through the file?  ffplay does this like this:

seekPoint = (int64_t)(formatContext->start_time+frac*formatContext->duration);
