[Theora] IntraFrame Detection (and forcing intraframes)

[Eduard Kriegler]

Great! Thanks. I've got the latest version now.

There isn't perhaps a way of forcing the encoder to make the next frame 
an intraframe (keyframe)? This would be a very useful feature where the 
encoded video is played back in real time. When a frame is lost or if 
there are errors on the data channel, the receiver can ask that the next 
frame be made a keyframe so as to regain synchronisation with the stream.

Thanks again for the hint of the new version!

Regards,
Eduard
