Oh, sorry, that option does exist: "-use_wallclock_as_timestamps".

If I record my incoming MJPEG multipart/alternative HTTP stream with
"-re -use_wallclock_as_timestamps 1", the timestamps look okay, though
astonishingly quite strictly aligned to full seconds. (My stream can
vary between 1 fps and 5 fps.)

(Why is "-use_wallclock_as_timestamps" documented as an integer [0,
INT_MAX-1] when it's use as a bool? I will submit a documentation
patch and an optional source patch to make it a bool.)
