huh?
ah, i think i remember now. it was more clever idea behind it.
to get frame number:  frameno=ptsvalue/rate_d
to get time position: seconds=ptsvalue/rate_m
and ptsvalue is always integer and can produce accurate values for
both things.

so, demuxers for formats storing frame/chunk number (avi) will scale by
rate_d, demuxers for timestamp-based formats (asf) will scale by rate_m
so for both kind of formats, only integer*integer multiply is done,
so no bit loss :)

ok, it isn't... i was wrong :)
