I think that there is a lock inversion here:

On the one hand, in vlc_media_tree_Remove(), the media tree lock is taken 
first, then input item events are unregistering, taking the event manager lock 
of the respective input item. On the other hand, in input item event 
callbacks, the media tree gets locked while the event manager lock is held.
