 I have to check, but I think it is because until playlist set b_die it can
call every functions it wants on the input.
 As the input thread does the unallocation itself (to match the allocation)
we wait for the die order.

 We could either move out the unallocation (but I really dislike non symetrical
behavior and it can take some times to be processed) or check input status in
functions applied to dead input.

But I am not sure it is worth it.
