No, the discontinuities are discontinuities in the continuity counter.
VLC should print "discontinuity indicator (pid=%d)" when it finds a
discontinuity flagged in the stream. However, the bad news is that we
take no action after such indicator, so the clock is not reset. In
addition the clock is not reset when you restart the stream after a
pause and is simply skewed very slowly (the skew factor can be changed
with --cr-average).

The simplest way to achieve the desired behavior would be to set the
first PCR after resume to 0 (or any arbitrarily far from reality value).
But MPEG-wise it is a kludge and the resulting stream wouldn't be
compliant.
