/* Dirac packetizer, formed of three parts:
 *  1) Bitstream synchroniser (dirac_DoSync)
 *      - Given an arbitrary sequence of bytes, extract whole Dirac Data Units
 *      - Maps timestamps in supplied block_t's to the extracted Data Unit
 *        A time stamp applies to the next Data Unit to commence at, or after
 *        the first byte of the block_t with the timestamp.
 *  2) Encapsulation Unit generation (dirac_BuildEncapsulationUnit)
 *      - Takes multiple well formed Dirac Data Units and forms them into a
 *        single encapsulation unit, suitable for muxing.
 *      - Sorts out any time stamps so that they only apply to pictures.
 *  3) Timestamp generator (dirac_TimeGenPush)
 *      - Many streams will not be correctly timestamped, ie, DTS&PTS for
 *        every encapsulation unit.  Timestamp generator syncs to avaliable
 *        timestamps and produces DTS&PTS for each encapsulation unit.
 *      - For 'Occasional' missing PTS|DTS:
 *          Missing timestamp is generated using interpolation from last
 *          known good values.
 *      - for All PTS missing:
 *          It is assumed that DTS values are fake, and are actually
 *          in the sequence of the PTS values at the output of a decoder.
 *          Fill in PTS by copying from DTS (accounting for reordering,
 *          by simulating reorder buffer); adjust DTS to provide correct
 *          value.  This is how demuxers like AVI work.
 *      - for All DTS missing:
 *          (Ie, PTS is present), reorder buffer is simulated to determine
 *          PTS for each encapsulation unit.
 *      - NB, doesn't handle all pts missing with real dts. (no way to
 *        distinguish from the fake dts case.)
 *
 *  DIRAC_NON_DATED is used to show a block should not have a time stamp
 *  associated (ie, don't interpolate a counter).  At the output, these
 *  blocks get dated with the last used timestamp (or are merged with
 *  another encapsulation unit).
