 The problem is that this condition is, en general, needed.

!p_input->p->b_out_pace_control means that (at least one of) the output(s) must
be fed in realtime with data and does not regulate the streaming speed. For
example with mms:// output, going faster must be prevented.
 IMHO, we need to add a new output properties to say that rate != 1.0 is
supported (even if b_out_pace_control is false).
