I remind people of the following, which I originally posted back in January:

>FYI, the latest release (2008.01.19) of the 
>"LIVE555 Streaming Media" code adds support for 
>calculating a stream's "Normal Play Time" (NPT) 
>(as defined in RFC 2326, section 3.6.) from a 
>given presentation time.

>Note, in particular, the definition of

>This function correctly computes the stream's 
>current NPT either directly from the 
>presentation time (if it has been synchronized 
>using RTCP), otherwise using the information 
>parsed from the stream's "RTP-Info:" header, 
>along with the current RTP timestamp.  It also 
>takes account of any 'seeking' that was done on 
>the stream, and any 'trick play' scale factor 
>that is in effect.  (For example, if the stream 
>is playing with 'scale' 2.0, then NPT will 
>advance at 2x the rate of wall-clock time, while 
>presentation time remains at the rate of 
>wall-clock time.)

>LIVE555 RTSP clients - such as VLC - will likely
