  the issue you're describing is a result of plugins cache. When it's
disabled, VLC takes long to start, but does not experience this problem.

  When plugins cache is enabled, it takes several tens of miliseconds
(I've seen even 200 ms on very slow machine) to load all the plugins
from the disk. Until all the required plugins are loaded, data is
being buffered at input, and afterwards dumped all at once to the
synchro - which gets confused, since it naturally expects packets 
at regular time intervals.

  The good point is that this problem only happens the first time you start
VLC - once the plugins are in memory, switching to another channel or
file is smooth.


	With kind regards,
