Hm, I realize you can probably get that with DXVA as well by decoding
a few frames ahead and trying to keep a buffer.
So if a frame took twice as long as it should the buffer size would
just shrink by one but things would still be smooth, and the buffer would
hopefully fill up again over time.
Of course it's not quite as easy to implement I guess, and it only
helps if it actually is the decoding that is the issue and not
e.g. memory bandwidth.
