I think more probably timestamps are ok, but inter-frame interval
(FPS) may be not very accurate. And maybe overlay filter just gets one
frame from one source, and one from another, and puts together, thus
if one camera may "forget" to send particular frame sometimes, the
second source will "be late" on visualization. If we had a filter that
forces constant frame rate, this could be solved. (Just speculations
again)

For cmdline util, it's impossible. For API that's re-initializing all
filtering stuff. You can do it, but it's a lot of code. You must read
your streams and push to filters manually, not by 'movie' filter.
