Ok, I emailed Fabrice directly. In the meanwhile, I did some additional
research on the RFCs, and I found out that
- for audio streams, the M bit should be set to 1 at the beginning of a
"talk-spurt", after silence. So, I think it could be safe to leave it
always to 0
- for mpeg1/2 video, M should be set to 1 for the last packet of a video
frame (it is easy to fix this; I'll send a patch later)
- for mpeg TS, M should be set to 1 only in presence of timestamp
discontinuities. So, I think it could be safe to leave it to 0.
