I still fail to see how having a check for exit will solve the sleeping
and waking up problem (polite way of saying it cannot solve it). And no,
putting video output specific code in the decoder API does not look
acceptable to me, especially not if it does not even theoretically solve
the problem it is supposed to.

If it were about me, I would agree to that. But recent and old threads in
the mailing list show that more than one active developper here ignore code
comments, even right next to the code. I cannot fix that, and nor can you.
