Invalid RTCP SR package sent by ffmpeg

[sancane]

Summary of the bug:
ffmpeg is sending an invalid RTCP SR packet, we detected that with the version 2.8.6 of ffmpeg, the RTCP SR sent by ffmpeg does not increment the ntptime, as we could expect so the clock is supposed to be monotonic, This makes it impossible to use RTCP SRs to synchronize. It seems to be a regression from any commit introduced from version 2.7.2 wich were doing it well.

Next is the information about SR sent with ffmpeg 2.8.6:

Is this issue reproducible with current FFmpeg git head?

[sancane]

Just tried it.

It seems that the problem is solved in git head. Sorry for the noise.
