I am all for implementing tight read loops in libav*, but its not going to
solve the problem on its own.
I already walked the *"tight sock read loop, with demux/decode in another
thread" *path*, *using my own code,
as did julian, using two independent implementations.
it doesnt help, there are still occasional losses/drops.
the only way I have found that fixes these problems is increasing the system
buffer.
