By "the logic", do you mean the entire no-skip-frames logic ? or just
the demux logic ?
In either case, I don't feel good in fixing it :p
Should I let it to the VLC team ? I guess this is not what may be
called a priority, however, we do need it in vlmc to be able to pause
a render...

Any advice or direction is welcome !
