Hi Massimo,

I am currently doing some work to propose to ffmpeg dev to robustify the project in that aspect. I can point you out where to fetch v1 of my patch if you want to try it out in your setup but before I have 2 questions.

1. On which platform are you running ffmpeg (my patch only address the issue on Linux)?
2. Would you be able to send the stream on a different machine (in order be sure that the freeze is in ffmpeg and not in the player...)?
