This introduces the same bug that someone else already pointed out in
transcode (IIRC). VLC will accumulate pictures in the FIFO with no limits.
With luck, VLC will it get OOM-killed. Without it, the whole system will
crash under heavy load.

Also I think the state machine can get into a deadlock now.
