The input thread spends most of its time blocked inside the demuxer code. It 
cannot be used to dispatch events, lest they end up delayed arbitrarily long 
in the pathological cases.

Besides, those events really should have the concerned aout/vout pointer as 
parameters (it was not possible with intf-event being an integer). And then, 
it becomes evident that the event must be dispatched synchronously.


Having said, that those events should be removed IMO. For the aout events, it 
might even be feasible already. For the vout, it's a long shot.
