Which brings me back to the question about ffplay - how does it manage 
to compensate for (apparently) perfect timing as long as I feed it STDIN 
in special chunks at special times?

Basically - is there a way to take the h264 frames as they come down 
from the camera, and force-set the PTS based on a wallclock or something?

Basically "the output will never be perfect" is not something I am 
willing to settle for. I either want to find out what is causing it, or 
how to work around in a perceptually-satisfactory manner (which the 
scheduler | ffplay example implies *is* possible)
