Yep, your commit 4f49f2aac62b4459cf75f3c593e4ee2e52b2f921 fixes this fine.

Well, after the above change, we now only have 3*jitter left, i.e. 3*0.2 msec.
Reordering happens due to variable buffering delay in multiple paths (either in
the network or inside the hardware), so we need much more here. I'd propose
25 msec as min and rtp-caching/4 (250 msec) as max, since there's no point in
creating decoder FIFO underruns.


   With kind regards,
