Is it still broken after my fix?
In principle I am in favour since I don't really think probing should be multi-threaded (then overhead is likely to be more than the benefit, for example it might lead to quite a lot more frames being decoded than necessary), however there's a good chance this is just hiding some real issues that might not even be completely related to multithreading.
