I am not sure it would help in this discussion, but I have not followed
the details closely.

The changes I am working on would fix the "bufferqueue overflow,
dropping" problems that occur with slightly unbalanced streams, for
example audio streams with tiny frames where you can get a hundred or so
frames in one go.

But it would not fix the really unbalanced cases, because nothing can.

As a rule of thumb, if now adding (a)fifo helps, then the incoming
changes should help.

On the other hand, huge memory consumption is sign of a really
unbalanced stream, and it would not help.

Regards,
