Frame seq numbers and timestamps.

Hi!

Please let me get this straight - in gstreamer there is no concept of frame sequence numbers, only timestamps in guint64 ? I dont know much about different video container internals, but does any container keep frame seq index or is it just timestamps in stream? I got by this issue by constructing another pipeline to run through the container fast, collect all timestamps of all the frames, sort these timestamps, and then create hash table for timestamp->index conversion and a table to do index->timestamp.
The question is that is that what i have to do, or is there some other way which i am not aware of? Similar topic has been discussed, but that did not make it clear for me at least.

Tõnu
