[ExtractStream] Sequence number bogus errors (FAQ?)

[Makhratchev, Konstantin]

I am not an ExtractStream's designer, so I might be OFF by a mile. Here's
what I understand.

TiVo keeps 2 separate streams vor video and audio. ExtractStream does not
multiplex them on TiVo side; they are "shipped" in separate packets over the
netweork. It appears that some audio packets are lost in transition at
higher rate than video packets (say, 1 in a 100 for audio vs. 1 in a 1000
for video)--could be some poor TCP/IP stack implementation. ExtractStream
does not provide a reliable connection so the error will be cumulative and
the recording will turn from synced in the beginning into the mess at the
end of the show.

Possible solution: multiplex audio and video on the TiVo side

--just my 2 cents (after pricematch, coupon and mail-in rebate :-)

What I'm curious about is why is ExtractStream getting confused over?
Even if the data is corrupt for some reason, I would just duplicate
the previous frames video frame, create dead audio frames, and keep
things synced up.

Am I way off here?
