We had a similar problem with MPEG2 files that are hardware
encoded with a Hauppauge PVR-150 card (CBR file).  The PCR
timestamps increase regularly but infrequently.

I fully understand that the liveMedia code should not be modified
but in case it's helpful to anyone, our workaround was to change
MPEG2TransportStreamFramer.cpp so that:

#define NEW_DURATION_WEIGHT 0.05

also due to the size of the jitter buffer on the receiver we have:

#define MAX_PLAYOUT_BUFFER_DURATION 0.25

Yes, setting values for those 4 parameters in "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer.cpp" is, unfortunately, somewhat of a 'black art'; it's going to be hard - if not impossible - to find values that will work well for everybody.

Note, though, that each of these definitions is enclosed by

#if !defined( ... )
#endif

So it's possible to change these values without changing the file "MPEG2TransportStreamFramer.cpp" itself. (E.g., you could define your new values on the command line when you compile the file.)
