The problem is: a lot of applications do not use the timestamp in AVFrame;
ffplay is one.

For video, the pts field in AVFrame is the value that comes from the
bitstream, if any, and is frequently unusable because it is not updated when
doing, for example, a partial stream copy: the correct timestamp is the
packet's PTS, and people use that.

For audio, they tend to use the same logic, and that is not surprising.

Are there cases of audio codecs that encode a timestamp in the bitstream and
lavc decodes it?
