This keeps the default behavior as-is by defaulting to true,
while allowing to start the timestamps with the offset from
av_gettime_relative epoch start. This allows for synchronization
with other capture modules that utilize the same epoch start, such
as DShow audio capture.

I don't think an option is needed. The zero based pts should simply be 
changed to wallclock based pts, most capture devices already work that 
way. ffmpeg.c can make pts 0 based if needed.

Also, there were arguments in the past for using av_gettime() for pts 
values and av_gettime_relative() for elapsed time measurement, and most 
capture devices tend to follow that unless I am mistaken.

Regards,
Marton
