   No, it is a multiple of the file's intrinsic (or "natural") rate.  
"Frames per second" loses meaning quickly with digital media files,  
where individual frames can have arbitrary duration (true even for

   It is based on the presence of absence of an audio track, so a  
video element may or may not return true.
