Sounds like you're arguing for real-time granulepos again.

If you know the media is 'continuous' the start time of the page is the end-
time of the previous page. Having an extra granulepos field on each page
doesn't help you at all here. Is there any problem with just applying this
abstraction to 'discontinuous' streams in DirectShow? I guess so if you
really need per-packet start and end timestamps.
