reversing the change to the forw/backw pointers, its somewhat simpler to update it if the forward pointer is first much more efficient encoding of the frame_code table stream_id -> stream_id_plus1, that way 0 is the special case instead of stream_count and we can be sure the table needs only 8bit per entry replace timestamp_msb by timestamp (and obviously dont code the lsb if the whole is coded) thats simpler and more compact add a msb_timestamp flag to the frame_code[].flags
