Ok thanks!

Maybe a better way would be to limit the depth of decoders' FIFO.

For example, if I change "b_out_pace_control" to "true", in
src/input/input.c:366, then depth of decoders' FIFO is limited to 10
(see decoder.c:394).

And it solves my problem. I don't know yet how to properly enable
decoders' FIFO pacing, though.

Best regards,
Frédéric
