Owner's stream EOF does not mean stream_Demux demuxer EOF.
Demux still have to drain stream_Demux fifo, and its own internal buffers.

It can't wait, but it can't also delete it before job is done.
(which currently only doesn't happen with > 1 block streams because
playback time takes longer than demux)
