That certainly sounds like a cleaner way to access the data. I started 
digging around in the code to find a good place to set a metadata entry 
from first_rtcp_ntp_time. Came upon AVFormatContext.start_time_realtime. 
It appears to only be used by RTP encoding functions. Might it make 
sense to set this field during RTP decoding? The semantics seem to be 
exactly what I'm looking for.
