yes, sadly

If iam not mistaken st->time_base is a pure output variable and the user
cannot set it to begin with, also ive just checked and mplayer also does
not set it when muxing to lavf, rather it sets the AVCodecContext part.

st->time_base is set from the muxer and might be the stream timebase
1/90000 1/1000000 or something entirely different.

If you have suggestions on improvig the api and or patches to document
it, its all welcome ....

iam not completely sure what you object to, but if i guess correctly that
would be ommiting wrong timestamps from xsub packets? well we can leave them
for now until a parser has been written still its kinda hackish way to test
