Myth can't play properly IPTV UDP/Multicast stream

Description
Using 0.20.2, Mythtv will play a UDP/Multicast stream perfectly. However, since upgrading to 0.21 trunk, the video pauses every few seconds, the sound is not in sync with the video etc.
A recording made by mythtv however, will play properly in VLC letting me believe that the issue isn't with the received stream but the media player.
I have posted a 38MB recording showing the problem. When played in MythTV trunk, it will exhibit the problem. Using 0.20.2 it will play perfectly.

- Milestone changed from unknown to 0.21
there is something strange happening. the dts is sometimes around -232 which looks like we are using somewhere 32bit arithmetik on the 64bit dts.
I'll apply a workaround for this.

Ooops
Sorry I posted the wrong link: the recording is: http://avenard.org/iptv/tv5_myth.mpg
the http://avenard.org/iptv/tv5_vlc.mpg is a stream capture made using VLC ; it doesn't play in mythtv properly, this one has a green shade over 3/4 of the screen and the subtitles are shown again at the top of the screen in a extremely large font.
