How useful is this 'stream time' anyway? I don't think this adds anything
useful.

This function shows both the ts of the ref frames and the buffer
index. Is it just the buffer index that causes the problem? If so,
then wouldn't it be better to either never show the buffer index
or only if !stable_output.

Should stable_output perhaps be 1 by default?
