I'm not at home, in front of the screen, but it seems to play fine
with speed 1. The maximum A-V in this case is a little high, at most
0.148.

If I lower the speed to 0.8, the max A-V is much more acceptable, 0.078.

If I bump the speed up to 1.2, then it cannot cope, the A-V rises
constantly, is over a second out within 10 seconds, and over 2 seconds
out by the end of the clip. So it doesn't have quite so much overhead
as I thought!

Running with vo xv, I get big de-synchronization with speeds > 0.4,
similar to vdpau at 1.2. If I use multiple threads, I can go up to 0.6
speed without losing synch.
