 I was looking at:

 Nevertheless, you are right: there's a difference in ffplay and ffmpeg.
 When I grab /dev/video0 with ffplay, shown PTS starts with wallclock,
 while in ffmpeg PTS starts with zero. I didn't use ffplay directly with
 real device, because it crashes the device driver. Instead I piped ffmpeg
 to ffplay and saw zero PTS, which confused me.

 Sorry for that.

 Since I do need wallclock PTS in filter expressions (but not 'time(0)',
 because it's laggy) in ffmpeg, I found a workaround:

 {{{
 -vf "setpts='PTS+(RTCSTART/(TB*1000000))',do
 stuff...,setpts='PTS-(RTCSTART/(TB*1000000))'"
 }}}
