if we have packets in the buffer we must return them first, before the
current packet even if the codec is known, adding the current packet
to the buffer is needed as we return an earlier packet first. And cant
return 2 at once.
But maybe you meant something else?

That sounds like a seperat issue, 
There could be a size limit at which we turn PROBE in NONE and return
stuff ...
