I would expect an encoder to output frames in DTS order rather than PTS and a 
decoder to output frames in PTS order. The timestamp field is the only 
indication of the PCR, so an application might not recover if the timestamp 
jumps backward.

If there is an ambiguity between PTS and DTS, I think it should be documented 
and specified per format what the timestamp is.
