I did take a brief look, and I confirmed that mpv works fine but ffplay
is hitting this deadlock between send and receive. My hardware is
getting flaky, and my actually be dying, so it's hard for me to do any
kind of systematic testing.

So right now my only useful advice is to look at how mpv is running the
loop and see if there's a significant difference.
