Comment:

 Patch has been reverted as it causes races and crashes with VLC.
 One could blame VLC for insufficient locking and mutexes but that wont
 make all applications do the extra needed locking. So its probably safer
 to keep the previously existing need for the user app to clean up the
 codec side. A patch in that direction is welcome!
