Exactly :)

Parsers should generate PTS if and only if upstream didn't provide those. 
And that should be based on display-order, basically poc .

Copying the code from vaapideocde_mpeg2 to mpegvideoparse seems to be straight
forward. If I understood correctly the poc calculation based on h264 spec is
complicated but that is the only way to find out the display order with in
parser, not like decoder where you can utilize the GstAdapter and other
heuristics to find out PTS with out following the specification exactly.
