[vlc] Video delay grows over time

[David R Robison]

Here is an example of the logging where the buffer grows to over 2 seconds

main error: ES_OUT_SET_(GROUP_)PCR is called too late (pts_delay 
increased to 381 ms)
main error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
main debug: Buffering 0%
main debug: Buffering 0%
main debug: Buffering 0%
main debug: Buffering 0%
main debug: Stream buffering done (2202 ms in 1025 ms)
main debug: End of video preroll
main debug: Received first picture
main debug: Decoder buffering done in 0 ms

So, PCR jitter kicks off a re-buffer of the stream and a re-sync of the 
clock.
4 times it records 0% buffering
then reports that 2.2 seconds was buffered in 1 second when the target 
buffer was 381ms.

Any idea what could cause this? What could cause 2s to be buffered when 
only 381ms was wanted?
Thanks, David
