[theora-dev] question about ogg mapping

[Dan Miller]

right, my issue is that we're using granulepos somewhat stragely right now with certain bits indicating keyframes, etc.  That scheme seems to break under the scenario of >1 frame/page.

I'm concerned about this as we're about to release a supposedly stable bitstream, and ffmpeg & mplayer are already supporting the format with more to come hopefully.

And how would you get the absolute time for each frame in this scenario
(multiple packets per page?) This is absolutely necessary for a player to
operate correctly. Or is there anything I am missing, like a way to get the
absolute position from the packet data and not the page granulepos?
