The problem is that it is not easy to pace the parent demux, in my case.

Typically, if the duration of Smooth Streaming video chunks is 5
seconds, then FIFO cannot be less than 5 seconds worth of chunks,
unless there's only one track (no audio and no subtitles, for
example).

What if we add a new request, say DEMUX_SET_CHILD_DEMUX_PACE, that
would enable / disable the pacing mechanism provided in this very
patch?
