Right now that's not what the renderer I did do. The control of the
input thread remains unchanged. This renderer start/stop is just a
different way to do the "input-prepare" I proposed to be notified when
the input thread is being configured and for a chance to alter the
configuration.

Unlike "input-prepare" this approach avoids some possible order issues
on callbacks that would have been set on this variable. It only allows
one specific kind of plugin and one single instance to alter the
playback output.
