Do you mean you debugged the sample (with a stream 
analyzer) and you know that every I-frame is a 
random access point or would you just expect every 
I-frame in the sample being a random access point?

Testing the 720p sample, it appears to me that 
FFmpeg thinks the first random access point after 
the initial IDR frame is the 28th frame, a P-frame.
If FFmpeg is right (and the 27th frame is no random 
access point), how should the random access point 
be signaled?

Iirc, fixed ticket with keyword "h264".
