dts are decode timestamps, that is for video thats when a packet
enters an idealized decoder, pts is the timestamp when the video frame
is presented
for audio pts == dts generally as theres no reordering or delay in
the ideallized decoder that is assumed

what do they mean for SCTE-35 ?

IIUC SCTE-35 can describe various timespans, how do these relate to
dts/pts ? are the dts/pts entirely meaningless and just used for
transport stream interleaving or do they somehow match the start of
some timestamp? Are the timespans inside relative to the dts/pts or
not?

I think writing a few words about this would make it easier for
applications to use this instead of just passing opaque SCTE-35 packets
between libavformat and libavcodec

I have often repented speaking, but never of holding my tongue.
