This looks good, and is a nice improvement respect to the current state
of things...
Just one comment: I think you are assuming AV_TIME_BASE == 1000000 (since
you are comparing next_pts with the result of av_gettime()). This is the
case now, but in the future the AV_TIME_BASE value can change (I know this
is a problem, because I did the same mistake in the past, and I've been
asked to fix it :)
I am not ffmpeg.c maintainer (so, I think Michael's approval is needed),
but I think the patch should be applied (after fixing the
AV_TIME_BASE -> microseconds conversion).
