The original commit for the code is here:
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=eaefb8508dba22fb04193241347a072caac34cf1;hp=59df84393165bc327fca9ba45dd280793a3bfe48

It suggests the first frame of the stream was getting dropped. I'm not
seeing any evidence of a frame getting dropped without this code, but I
have no idea how to recreate the conditions it was originally getting
seen in. Is my best bet to mail the author (Laurent Aimar) direct to see
if he recalls?

Thanks.
