Yes, probably we can live with that, I just want to understand,
whether this is intentional, or we misuse something.

I am afraid I don't understand this part.
In the code I attached the TimedStringSeq data is obtained from some
byte array using the cdrmemorystream interface.
I obtained this byte array from some TimedStringSeq data: in that I
set the time member.
Can you explain a bit better, please?
