This adds two double precision divisions per frame, which seems acceptable.

I'm not sure scaling the limit by the factor is the correct idea.  It feels
right regarding the discontinuities, but not according to the limit option's
description.

I think it would be more logical to keep limit expressed as real time.
This option is a safety net, it is not nimble enough to select time gaps
to ignore in files that contain them.

I should have used FFABS(sleep); if this hunk stays, then better make
the change to have only one division:

	if (FFABS(sleep) > s->limit / s->speed)

LGTM apart from these nitpicks.

So the limit shall be in "real" realtime? In other words, if the max
sleep time limit is 2 seconds (default), it shall stay there, even if a
speed < 1 slowdown extends all sleep times?

(The use case is, for example: Slowdown a 25 fps stream with 0.01, all
sleep times will be around 4 seconds, and therefore be skipped, which
is not quite intended. The user would need to adapt the limit
explicitly.)

I can do so. Who decides whether the hunks stays or goes? I'm
indecisive.

That was my point, but it is only an opinion.

I had not realized you wanted to slow things down that much.

I think since you made the effort of implementing this, you get to
decide that kind of fine details. The preference I have expressed is
very minor, both solutions are ok with me.

While contemplating over it, I apparently got over it. V2 posted.
Retained the automatic sleep adjustment.

Thanks,
