[Bug 740575] Fixing DTS in GStreamer

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740575

There is no padding in the buffer, can you do this?

Also, when you offset segment start everything will just work. You'll get
negative DTS working transparently in all components, and be able to represent
those as GstClockTime.

Whereas if you add another field to buffer then 
a) you have redundancy
b) all components that so much as touch dts need to be aware of new field.
Also, having TS delta instead of actual time is very inconvenient in most
places. If you want to do some calculations, interpolation, etc, you'll have to
convert it to actual time, which will have to be signed, so you won't be able
to represent it a GstClockTime.
