Hmm? Actually the core *expects* the driver to spend some time rendering. It 
even measures it and adjust frame skipping accordingly.

I don't think there is anything wrong with sleeping in prepare(), as long as 
you wake up no before the PTS.

How do you ensure that the phase shift remains small enough to not break video 
output scheduling?
