[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lavd: Use av_gettime_relative()

Since you leave the #if logic present, the clock is really monotonic, there
is really no doubt about it (except if broken on purpose). But the
explanations do no harm.

At a later point, I intend to rework that code to make better use of your
new API (use av_gettime_is_monotonic() and drop the #if logic; possibly make
the code usable by other devices).

But for now this patch looks plenty good enough to me.

Thanks for your efforts.
