Could we have maybe two methods for metronom to use.
1) Stream has accurate PTS values, e.g. DVDs.
2) Stream might not have accurate PTS values, e.g. Some .avi files.

So if we had case 1, we could achieve very good sync, but is case 2, we
could allow a bit more variation in accuracy.
The input/demuxer plugins could then provide some hints to xine as to which
one should be used.
