avdemux: fix negative pts if start_time is bigger than the ts
The start time is supposed to be the ts of the first frame.
FFmpeg uses fractions to represent timestamps and the start time may use a
different base than the frame pts. So we may end up having the start
time bigger than the pts because of rounding when converting to gst ts.

Cerbero
Cerbero is a meta build system used to build GStreamer plus dependencies
on platforms where dependencies are not readily available, such as
Windows, Android, iOS and macOS.
Cerbero has seen a number of improvements:
- Cerbero has been ported to Python 3 and requires Python 3.5 or newer
now
- Source tarballs are now protected by checksums in the recipes to
guard against download errors and malicious takeover of projects or
websites. In addition, downloads are only allowed via secure
transports now and plain HTTP, FTP and git:// transports are not
allowed anymore.
- There is now a new fetch-bootstrap command which downloads sources
required for bootstrapping, with an optional --build-tools-only
argument to match the bootstrap --build-tools-only command.
- The bootstrap, build, package and bundle-source commands gained a
new --offline switch that ensures that only sources from the cache
are used and never downloaded via the network. This is useful in
combination with the fetch and fetch-bootstrap commands that acquire
sources ahead of time before any build steps are executed. This
allows more control over the sources used and when sources are
updated, and is particularly useful for build environments that
dont have network access.
- bootstrap --assume-yes will automatically say yes to any
interactive prompts during the bootstrap stage, such as those from
apt-get or yum.
- bootstrap --system-only will only bootstrap the system without build
tools.
- Manifest support: The build manifest can be used in continuous
integration (CI) systems to fixate the Git revision of certain
projects so that all builds of a pipeline are on the same reference.
This is used in GStreamers gitlab CI for example. It can also be
used in order to re-produce a specific build. To set a manifest, you
can set manifest = 'my_manifest.xml' in your configuration file, or
use the --manifest command line option. The command line option will
take precendence over anything specific in the configuration file.
- The new build-deps command can be used to build only the
dependencies of a recipe, without the recipe itself.
- new --list-variants command to list available variants
- variants can now be set on the command line via the -v option as a
comma-separated list. This overrides any variants set in any
configuration files.
- new qt5, intelmsdk and nvidia variants for enabling Qt5 and hardware
codec support. See the Enabling Optional Features with Variants
section in the Cerbero documentation for more details how to enable
and use these variants.
- A new -t / --timestamp command line switch makes commands print
timestamps
Platform-specific changes and improvements
Android
- toolchain: update compiler to clang and NDKr18. NDK r18 removed the
armv5 target and only has Android platforms that target at least
armv7 so the armv5 target is not useful anymore.
