AFAIK, sched_yield() on non real-time task is not a good idea (it has an
undefined behaviour).

I had this strange idea of trying "-re", but it does not work correctly with
live sources (I suspect there is a positive feedback or something like that).
I'll have a look in the next days to see if there is some way to make it work
with live sources and AVFMT_FLAG_NONBLOCK.

In the meanwhile, I have no objections for your latest patch (if it breaks
something we'll fix it in some way).
