Threaded input can increase smoothness of e.g. x11grab significantly. Before
this patch, in order to activate threaded input the user had to specify a
"dummy" additional input, with this change it is no longer required.
Ping, will apply soon.

@item -thread_queue_size @var{size} (@emph{input})
This option sets the maximum number of queued packets when reading from the
file or device. With low latency / high rate live streams, packets may be
-discarded if they are not read in a timely manner; raising this value can
-avoid it.
